Teammate: Jameis reminds me of a young Aaron Rodgers

Jameis Winston by all accounts is doing an admirable job in his first NFL training camp. So much so, it appears, that one of his Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammates went so far as to compare the rookie to a younger version of arguably the most talented quarterback currently playing in the NFL:

Aaron Rodgers.

Bucs offensive lineman Evan Smith is the teammate who showered Winston with such enormous praise. While it may seem like a bit much, Smith is in a position to make the comparison, as Smith’s first season in the NFL was 2009, Rodgers’ second season as a starter.
