Football is a Privilege: Jameis Winston needs to fix reputation

During the post-game interviews of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers preseason opener, Jameis Winston wasn’t the guy going to the podium to field questions after head coach Dirk Koetter. Ryan Fitzpatrick will man that role for the next few weeks.

Now, Winston will more than likely return to the starting quarterback role when his three-game suspension is over but it must feel weird for the former number one overall pick to sit in the shadow of a 14-year veteran.

After the aftermath of yet another sexual assault scandal, Winston is lucky that he only was suspended three games, whether he did it or not.
