He’s A Great Leader
Jameis Winston came into the Tampa Bay Buccaneer organization and immediately became the leader of the team.
He was the first one at the practice facility most of the time, always encouraged his teammates, played hurt, and never placed blame on anyone for their failures as an organization.
This tweet below describes the respect his teammates had for him.
Since posting this video, I’ve had more Bucs players reach out telling me that yes, this is exactly how they’re feeling. They can’t wait to play with Tom Brady, but they’re anxious to see where Jameis Winston ends up because he was such a valued part of their locker room. https://t.co/yYctcC6DyV

Tampa Bay Buccaneer players didn’t post their thoughts on social media about Tom Brady signing with the organization out of respect for Jameis Winston.
Brady is arguably the greatest NFL QB of all-time, with six Super Bowl rings with the latest coming in the 2018 season. It’s not like he’s some over the hill veteran QB that’s been floundering around on mediocre teams coming in.
However, it is ironic Brady and Winston had the same QB rating in 2019.
Strange but true: Tom Brady and Jameis Winston both had a 53.7 QBR last season. pic.twitter.com/s4QeGSFvWk
