Tampa Bay Buccaneers
TAMPA — Considering the success he had working with Johnny Manziel at Texas A&M, you would think Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans might have prefer Marcus Mariota over Jameis Winston as Tampa Bay’s new quarterback.
He doesn’t.
Though he grew into a first-round draft pick while catching passes from the ultra-mobile Manziel, Evans says he’d much rather work with a pocket passer like Winston than a Manziel-like runner such as Mariota.
“Out of him and Mariota, I like Winston more,’’ Evans said Tuesday when asked if he had a preference regarding the quarterback the Bucs planned to take with the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft.
