TAMPA — Rookie QB Jameis Winston came to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a reputation for being able to make every throw necessary — and when scouts said every throw, they meant every throw.
Winston proved during his college career he’s just as adept throwing the deep ball and the riskier quickout along the sideline as he is dumping the ball off to his backs behind the line of scrimmage.
’s only been a couple of weeks, but already Winston has proved to his new teammates, and in particular WR Vincent Jackson, that he’s capable of doing precisely what the scouts said he could.
“Yeah, he’s very dynamic,’’ Jackson said last week following a voluntary offseason workout at One Buc Place. “He can put touch on it when he needs to, but he can also sling it when he needs to.
“We’ve seen both — where he knows he has to put his foot in the ground and fire it through a tight window and when he has to (throw) it deep and soft and put it away from the defender.
“He’s just a very sound quarterback, and he’s only going to continue to get better because you see his competitiveness. He doesn’t want to miss a throw. He comes out here each and every day and he works on his craft.”
