The original tweet was a photo of crab legs, corn on the cobb, and a Krabby Pokémon. @UFPublicSafety replied: "Can anyone confirm if this is location is at #FSU football locker room? #PokemonGo #FSUfootballjokes # Publix."

Florida's jab was an obvious reference to former Seminoles quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. Winston went on to be drafted with the first pick in the 2015 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In 2014, he was given a civil citation for shoplifting after allegedly leaving a Tallahassee Publix supermarket without paying for $32 worth of crawfish and crab legs.
