Both quarterbacks are the last two Heisman Trophy winners, respectively. Nike has also signed Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon, Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper – the two runners-up to Mariota in this year’s Heisman voting, and Georgia running back Todd Gurley to endorsement deals too.

“Jameis has stated his innocence regarding serious charges made against him,” a Nike spokesman said in a statement provided to ESPN.com. “We’ll continue to monitor the situation.”

Winston is likely to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL draft, which will take place in Chicago beginning on April 30, as the other players are likely to follow in the first round.
