During an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, Arians explained how he believes the 25-year-old can “win it all”.
“He has the intelligence, the toughness, and obviously the arm, ability to lead a team,” Arians said.
“We have to put the right pieces around him.
“His willingness to work is unbelievable. He’s in the office at five o’clock in the morning. I have no qualms about that. There’s no doubt. The whole thing is going to be built around him.”
Winston is coming off a season in which he struggled both on and off the field.
He was suspended for the first three games of the season after the NFL investigated allegations made by a female Uber driver during a March 2016 incident.
Additionally, he lost the starting position to Ryan Fitzpatrick for a couple of games, but Arians reassured the product out of Florida State is “just going to get better and better”.
“I’ve known him for a long time. We all make mistakes. He’s made his. I’ve made mine,” Arians said of Winston. “I feel like I’ve got a great feel for him, his excitement for the game.”
Winston will be heading into his fifth-year option and is due to make $20million next season.
He finished 2018 completing 64.6 per cent of his passes for 2,992 yards with 19 touchdowns and 14 interceptions over 11 games.
