Buccaneers' Jameis Winston suspended first three games of 2018, source confirms

TAMPA, Fla. -- Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first three games of the 2018 season by the NFL and will not appeal, a source confirmed to ESPN's Dan Graziano. The decision is a result of a seven-month investigation that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback allegedly groped a female Uber driver in March 2016 in Scottsdale, Arizona.

"First and foremost, I would like to say I'm sorry to the Uber driver for the position I put you in. It is uncharacteristic of me and I genuinely apologize," Winston said in a statement to the NFL Network.
