A solemn review of Jameis Winston’s six opening-drive interceptions
Jameis Winston continued his trend of opening-drive interceptions on Saturday. What do these picks tell us about Winston’s NFL future?
Winston threw four picks against the Saints in Week 11, but mercifully managed to avoid throwing one on the opening drive. Instead, the Bucs went three-and-out and saved the drama for the next week against Atlanta. You can kind of see what Winston is thinking here — cornerback Desmond Trufant is playing bail coverage, and safety Ricardo Allen busts his coverage to the flat. Evans takes his route inside, and if Trufant is expecting Evans to turn upfield this is an easy completion. But Trufant does a great job of reading the route, crossing in front of Evans, and taking the ball away.
