Though it’s only been two seasons, Jameis Winston is looking like the franchise quarterback that the Buccaneers thought he would be when they selected him first overall in the 2015 NFL Draft. Last season, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to start a career with back-to-back 4,000-yard seasons. A year ago, we looked at the numbers put up by first-round quarterbacks in their first and second seasons. Now that Winston has completed his second year, we can look at the breakdown of his first two campaigns:
Year one: Completed 58.3 percent of passes, 4,255 total yards, 28 touchdowns (22 passing), 15 INT in 16 games
Year two: Completed 60.
