Special Olympians pay Bucs a visit

Special guests

After Saturday's practice more than 50 athletes from Special Olympics Florida representing Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco and Polk counties participated in passing and receiving drills with members of the Bucs, including QB Jameis Winston, RB Doug Martin and CB Alterraun Verner.

"Man, it takes your mind off everything. You feel their energy. They're playing. They're having fun," Winston said. "You just see what life's all about. We had some great guys out there. You can learn so much from them, just from the way they do things. They're always smiling and I'm thinking about, 'Man, I'm out here all day, after practice.
