Jameis Winston | THE ULTIMATE TEAMMATE

with my b r if you told jamus Winston in 2019 after becoming only the sixth player to ever throw for over 5,000 yards in a single season throughout the history of the NFL that he would be entering his fifth consecutive season as a backup in 2024 he probably would have provided you an answer that would have sparked a viral moment the former Heisman win a national champion from Florida state entered the NFL as the number one selection of the 2015 draft becoming a day one starter for the Tampa bayay Buccaneers Winston went on to start for the bucks for Five Seasons putting together a mix of highlights as well as low lights which has provided us with many Unforgettable moments starting with the very first game of his career in week one 2015 versus the Tennessee Titans the first pass of his career was intercepted and returned for a touchdown a feat which has only happened one other time in the history of the NFL fast forward to 2019 and jamus is lead in the NFL in passing with 5,19 yards and second in touchdowns with 33 the only problem was he threw 30 interceptions That season as well y all know come on I guess we know what we got to fix no reason for me to be specific you look at my numbers I'm I'm balling you know I got to stop giving the ball to the other team right like that's not a trick question even back then jamus knew he had room for improvement and at the turnover issue needed to get under control but I don't think he or anyone else expect there to be a half a decade gap between him being a starter no I'm I'm I'm I'm healthy enough to play right so but that's it but my role right now is to uh be the leader that I need to be not not the leader that I want to be so uh that's that's all I can do some may argue if jamus will ever get another shot at being the guy but if there's one thing playing in his favor is that jamus is still jamus overly dedicated carefree and in love with football because it's going to take some thick skin hard work and passion to get back to being qb1 but what many have noticed recently from jamus is that he's pouring into his teammates and looking to elevate everyone around him this isn't anything new for those who have followed jamus since his collegate days but more times than not the Casual fan knows only what the internet shows and places judgment on him from there as he has had many vir moments which don't always tell the full story but they are very entertaining one of the best bat condoms uh tandems in the league right uh with with with latavius and Alvin after I say one thing I want everybody to look at me I'm a passage the Corin after I say one thing let's go that's a w let's eat one let's eat one that's a w tell me if you want to eat a w tonight see on paper jamus was brought to Cleveland to backup DeShaun Watson but in reality from what we have seen since he signed he has brought way more to the table not only has he accepted a role of backup which demands you to be ready and win the game if the opportunity ever arises for whatever reason but he has taken it upon himself to help Elevate Watson's game and help him return to the player he was in Houston for the Texans his big personality which some team May shy away from has also been helpful for the Browns as it takes the focus off of Deshawn who is still attempting to repair His Image correct me if I'm wrong but I have never seen a backup quarterback get this much air time from a franchise who has zero plans to make a move at the position just by having jamus around it creates some sort of attention force field which protects the areas that were sore spots before one of james' former teammates Demario Davis had this to say about him man first of all when we talk about James James is my favorite teammate of all time and i' had I have a lot of play with a lot of guys that I that I absolutely love James is my favorite teammate of all time unquestioned I mean what you see is what you get and if you still need more proof of the type of teammate jamus is let's not forget when he did what no quarterback has ever done in the history of football by auding during Victory formation while winning 41- 17 Yes you heard the correctly jamus Winston changed the play while the saints were on the Falcons one yd line during the fourth quarter of a blowout this was done to get running back Jamal Williams his one and only touchdown of the season after the game jamus said it was a team decision and everyone agreed and felt that Jamal deserved it as he was having a difficult season after this decision was made chaos broke out Arthur Smith went after Dennis Allen who was quick to apologize and throw jamus under the bus but the number one sign of being a good teammate is is that your team will ride for you and have your back when the respect is mutual and genuine and James's teammates did just that so for as unorthodox and as crazy James may seem his heart is always in the right place and by putting others first working hard and dedicating himself to the guys around him each and every day he has won the respect through his actions this is what makes jamus Winston the ultimate teammate thank you
