Last November, Jameis Winston was accused of groping a female Uber driver in Scottsdale, Arizona. To date, though, the NFL has not interviewed him about said incident.
“I know the NFL has a process that they have to go through and I respect that process. It’s not my job to speculate on that process,” Winston said Monday, the Bucs’ first day of their off-season program. “My focus has been with this organization, getting the guys back in here and focusing what we can do to become a better team this off-season.”
The woman alleged that in March of 2016 Winston reached over and grabbed her crotch while he was a passenger. Saying that it happened while stopped at a drive-thru at a local restaurant in Scottsdale. The driver did not press charges, but instead came forward in an article on BuzzFeed. Winston was subsequently banned from Uber.
At this point given the precedent of past cases, it doesn’t seem that any investigation or possible recourse would be settled until after the 2018 season.
