Tampa Bay Buccaneers

What’s the next step for Jameis Winston?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers could easily wind up being a sleeper team in the NFL this year, and there’s a strong chance they’re in a position to contend with the Falcons for an NFC South division crown.

Much of the credit, of course, goes to third-year quarterback Jameis Winston, who was effectively special in 2016.

Sure, Winston could cut down on his 18 interceptions from a year ago. But the additions of veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson and rookie tight end O.J. Howard should help.

Oh, and that wide receiver, Mike Evans, is pretty good too.

The sky appears to be the limit for Winston, who will look to get the Bucs back to a prominent level in the NFL this season.

Look for it to happen.
