Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston is falling down NFL draft boards due to his off-field issues, Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported on Sunday.

NFL general managers are moving the 20-year-old Florida State quarterback down their draft boards, or off them altogether, according to Glazer.

One of the reasons for Winston's decline is possible rule changes that would dock teams draft picks for off-field transgressions, Glazer reports.
