Winston, Arians have head start on chemistry

TAMPA, Fla. -- Introductions and first impressions won't be necessary for Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and new head coach Bruce Arians. That happened more than 10 years ago, when Winston was in high school attending his football camp in Birmingham, Alabama.

"I had a little quarterback challenge -- a couple kids from Kentucky, Tennessee, around the South," Arians told ESPN. "They were all seniors being recruited, and I think he was in ninth or 10th grade. He blew them all away, and I was like, 'Woah!' ... He definitely made an impression on me in that football camp, that's for sure.
