Reddit User Perfectly Predicted Jameis Winston's 2019 Stats Almost a Full Year Ago
Jameis Winston threw for a career-best 5,109 yards and 33 touchdowns in 2019. The problem is that he also threw a whopping 30 interceptions, capping off the year with a pick-six to lose in overtime in Week 17.
Winston can always be expected to struggle with turnovers. Yet one Reddit user apparently predicted this incredibly bizarre season almost a year ago.

Reddit user "abowmanlex" was off by only 109 passing yards in his prediction. That is always safe to do when pretending not to be a time traveler.
Winston only threw 14 interceptions in 2018 so predicting 30 may have been a stretch before the season. But "abowmanlex" somehow predicted Winston's amazing ability to light up opposing defenses while also giving the ball away every single game.
Jameis Winston’s first pass under his rookie contract with the Bucs was a pick-six.

Jameis Winston’s last pass under his rookie contract with the Bucs was a pick-six.
The prediction was spot on and likely sarcastic in nature, but that is just how crazy Winston's 2019 season was. Even jokes about how weird his play can be become true with time.
