Prior to the draft, Buccaneer great Derrick Brooks had voiced his support for Jameis Winston and it was suggested that he’d be willing to serve as a mentor for the young signal-caller if the Bucs were to draft him. Flash-forward a few months and Brooks, who also attended Florida State, is ready to take on that role on a day-to-day basis.
Ian Beckles, who played for the Bucs from 1990 to 1996, spoke to WDAE radio about the Brooks’ plans.
“He’s going to meet with Jameis every day when [Jameis] comes back to Tampa,” Beckles said, via JoeBucsFan.
