The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are Jameis Winston’s team now, he just has to show and prove.
It appears he’ll be installed right away as the starter.
“It’s pretty difficult to say with a straight face that we’re not going to give Jameis that opportunity to win it right away,” G.M. Jason Licht told PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio on Friday. “He’s the first overall pick. We think he’s very advanced in terms of his ability to play and pick up schemes and concepts and learn the playbook relative to most rookies, or any rookie we’ve scouted in recent history. So he’s gonna have every opportunity.”
The Bucs have reportedly been focused on Winston for over a year now.
