Thursday night’s preseason clash between the Giants and Patriots at MetLife Stadium wasn’t just about football—it was also about laughs.
Veteran quarterback Jameis Winston had fans cracking up with an unusual warmup routine that quickly made the rounds online.
A Wacky Routine That Turned Heads
As his team got set for their final preseason game, Winston was spotted pacing the end zone while practicing his throwing motion—except he wasn’t holding a ball.
Instead, he swung a towel in his hand as if he were in a comedy skit.
The NFL’s official X account caught the moment on camera, and fans wasted no time chiming in.
Fans React With Pure Comedy
Social media lit up with reactions:
-
One fan dubbed him the “funniest guy in the NFL.”
-
Another joked, “Here he go with the shenanigans,” adding crying-laughing emojis.
-
A third compared Winston’s routine to their dog chasing a fly around the house.
-
And someone summed it up perfectly: “Some nights you watch football, some nights football watches Jameis.”
The clip has already racked up more than 174,000 views, proving that Winston’s offbeat charm never fails to entertain.
Not Just for Show
Interestingly, this isn’t a one-off act. Winston also pulled out the towel-swinging warmup earlier this month before a matchup against the Bills.
Known for his larger-than-life pregame speeches and playful personality, he has quickly become a locker-room favorite since signing with the Giants this offseason.
Trade Rumors Swirl—But The Giants Say No
Despite his popularity, there’s been speculation that Winston could be moved, especially with rookie Jaxson Dart impressing during preseason and making a case to be the No. 2 quarterback behind Russell Wilson.
But assistant GM Brandon Brown shut down the chatter, insisting Winston isn’t going anywhere.
“Jameis is a New York Giant,” Brown told reporters.
“From day one, he’s made it intentional that he wants to be here for the long haul.”
On the Field: Winston Still Delivers
While Dart started the game against New England and threw for 81 yards and a touchdown, Winston also reminded fans of his value.
He connected with Jalin Hyatt on a 27-yard touchdown pass along the sideline, extending the Giants’ early lead to 14-0.
Looking Ahead to the Season
The Giants wrapped up their preseason with plenty of laughs courtesy of Winston—and a promising offensive performance.
Now, attention turns to September 7, when they open their regular season on the road against the Commanders.
