As the New Orleans Saints enter their first year of the post-Drew Brees era, Jameis Winston looks to make his first start outside of Tampa Bay, the organization that drafted him No. 1 overall six years ago.

Winston was fine with the Buccaneers but fine doesn’t cut it in the NFL, especially at the quarterback position. Had Winston not thrown 30 interceptions in 2019, he might still be the quarterback of the Buccaneers and maybe that franchise doesn’t win a Super Bowl in the 2020 season. I guess we’ll never know.

Signing with the Saints last year was a smart move for Winston for a few different reasons.

For one, it gave him the chance to learn from both Drew Brees and Sean Payton, two of the game’s best at their respective jobs. There was no pressure on Winston last year because Brees was the starter and there was no debating that. When he did get injured, Payton went with Taysom Hill over Winston and while it was an odd decision, it worked out okay.
