TAMPA — Last year, on the first day of Bucs rookie minicamp, the team's top draft pick — the NFL's top draft pick — got to the facility early, so early that he stood and greeted other rookies as they stepped off the bus at One Buc Place.
And away we went.
This morning, Jameis Winston greets his second Bucs training camp. He begins as a team leader, maybe the team leader. He's 22 years old. No matter.
He's the face of the franchise. No less than Bucs Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy repeated that assertion Wednesday.
