TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston stood in the end zone of the Bucs’ indoor practice facility Friday, reached down and grabbed the hand of a young boy -- a Special Olympics athlete -- who had just dropped a touchdown pass.
After Winston walked him back in line, and offered some pointers, that same camper hauled in the next pass thrown his way and Winston made sure they celebrated.
“It means the world to be able to pick any kid up, and to take them to the promised land, to put them in the end zone,” Winston said.
