Did New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston really say a wild quote about crab legs in response to taking over as the team's starter?
No, a viral AI video has duped some fans into thinking this cringe-worthy quote is real. It is very much not real.
It's not even worth quoting the fake video that shows a fake Winston makes a silly comparison to crab legs and succeeding on the football field. The video looks kind of real, sounds kind of real, but it's not. It's labeled as AI.
Football Crave is a notorious spoof account, and it's latest viral prank has really fooled some folks. It's not real.

he’s an unstoppable force.” pic.twitter.com/VGQTAWp5KZ

While Winston is indeed taking over for Jaxson Dart at quarterback, he didn't say this quote. It's fake.
Who do the Giants play next?
The team hosts the Tennessee Titans on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.
