TAMPA — With the Bucs preparing for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, rookie quarterback Jameis Winston Wednesday shared that he grew up a huge fan of former Eagles quarterback Randall Cunningham.
"I just fell in love with him," said Winston, born in 1994, nine years into Cunningham's 16-year career. "I liked Randall Cunningham (because) what he brought to the game (was) excitement."
Winston said when he was a high school recruit, his Rivals.com bio page compared him to Cunningham ("I was skinny back in those days") and "that made me even more of a fan."
As it turns out, Cunningham is a big fan of Winston's as well.
