TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston announced that he is going to the NFL on the same day the woman who accused him of sexual assault filed a lawsuit against the school's board of trustees. The 2013 Heisman Trophy winner announced his decision to forgo his final two years of eligibility and enter the 2015 draft in a statement released to ESPN by The Legacy Agency Wednesday. Winston was the most successful quarterback in college football during the last two seasons, but also faced lengthy sexual assault investigations.
