Jameis Winston in attendance for Mike Alstott charity event
By Ernie Padaon
Jameis Winston was in attendance for the Mike Alstott charity event. Is this a hint that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take him?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers own the first overall selection in the NFL Draft and many people believe that they will take Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston with that selection. He would be the new face of the franchise for years to come and would help turn that thing around in Tampa.
There had been a few question marks on whether the team would take Marcus Mariota instead with the first overall selection, but it seems that we are getting dropped a little hint on the selection. Jameis Winston was in attendance for a Mike Alstott charity event on Thursday. The event was attended by many former and current Buccaneers players and Jameis was there to enjoy his time with all of them.
Here are some photos of Winston at the event:
It seems that the Buccaneers and Winston are giving out hints for people now. The draft is less than 3 weeks away, so the team can start letting all the people know what they are going to do with their selection. The Buccaneers need to start marketing their new centerpiece to the rest of the world and if there are little events like the Mike Alstott charity event that he can attend, then they will get him out there.
It looks like that Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made their decision with the first overall selection. This looks like the direction that they will move forward with. There wasn’t word of any other potential draft selections at the Mike Alstott charity event. It was just Jameis Winston that was in attendance.
Now we will have to see how the rest of the NFL Draft will fall with Winston taken at the top selection. Where will Marcus Mariota fall in the draft? Will he be taken with the 2nd overall selection or will he start a slide down the first round? Will there be a trade for the 2nd overall selection?
Winston will get the opportunity to work with some massive wide receivers in Tampa Bay. Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans will give Winston some big targets on offense. It will be nice for him to work with that talent on the outside catching his passes. Winston will get the chance to start right out of the gates. It should be a fun ride.
