It should come as no surprise that Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner, would take out an insurance policy on his potential future earnings in the NFL.
It's the size of the policy that's making headlines.
On Monday, Yahoo Sports reported that Winston, a sophomore, is now covered by a $8-$10 million disability and “loss of value” policy based on the assumption that he will be selected in the top 10 of next years's NFL draft. It would pay out if he drops in the draft or goes undrafted based on injury or illness during his final college season.
