If Jameis Winston would've been able to enter the NFL Draft last season, he probably would've gone No. 1 overall. We bring that up not to remind Texans fans of what could've been, but instead to point out that this is a story a year-and-a-half in the making. Finally it's official. The Tampa Bay Bucs are hoping to offset the misery of a 2-14 season with the selection of a potential/possible/probable franchise quarterback.
They still got their work ahead of them (obviously), but adding the 2013 Heisman winner (and former national champ) is their attempt to become relevant in the league again. Whatever your opinion of him off the field is, this was considered a pretty big no-brainer of a pick.
Now we'll all just have to wait 5-10 years to see if he pans out.
