Former FSU football players inducted into the 2025 FSU Athletics Hall of Fame

Florida State football fans want to rewind the clock to the 2013 season when the Seminoles captured their third national championship in school history. The program did not look like it could stopped as former head football coach Jimbo Fisher created a juggernaut.

It seems like all of the contributors on the team went on to play in the NFL. That was the type of special that we were referring to. Many individuals disrespect the 2013 version of the Seminoles take a ton of teams that were champions in the last twenty years over them.

To me, that is a level of craziness that I cannot support.

Two former players from that team, quarterback Jameis Winston and wide receiver Rashad Greene, were introduced into the Class of 2025 FSU Athletics Hall of Fame on Tuesday afternoon.

The 2013 season for the talented signal-caller was very special as Winston completed 257 of his 384 passes (66.9%) with 4,057 passing yards and 40 touchdowns with only ten interceptions en route to a Heisman Trophy. Given the position that he played and the fact that he was a polarizing figure in college football at the time.

Wide receiver Rashad Greene was someone that the Seminole fan base loved and was a pivotal piece in the championship run in 2013 where he recorded 76 receptions for 1,128 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. He had a legendary four-year career with Florida State where he had 270 catches for 3,830 receiving yards and 29 touchdowns.

Winston just signed a new two-year deal with the New York Giants and is making himself relevant as a high-quality backup at the very least. Meanwhile, Greene played three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he had 30 receptions for 185 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He last made an appearance in the NFL in 2018.

It is funny how everything works out, I thought both players would have been highly successful in the league, but I know that it is very difficult to make a roster in the NFL.

Nonetheless, I am glad that both Winston and Greene are getting the credit that they deserve for that wonderful squad that will be remembered forever.
