Jameis Winston embraces the villain role in latest Instagram post

Take a look at Jameis Winston’s latest Instagram post, where he takes some inspiration from Tom Hardy’s Bane.

Say what you want about Jameis Winston, but he’s one of the more exciting NFL players to follow on Instagram. From belting out the ABCs with his son to offering tips on parenting, the soon-to-be free agent QB certainly seems to have his hands full this offseason.

But let’s not forget that Winston is also a professional, and regardless of where he ends up once the free agency dust settles, he’ll be competing to play in 2020. Winston knows better than anyone the criticism that’s been swirling around him in Tampa Bay the last few years, and after a season in which he threw 30 interceptions, the Bucs might finally be ready to move on.

To his credit, Winston seems to know the deck may be stacked against him right now with the Bucs, which might be why he’s embracing the role of the villain in his latest Instagram post, quoting Tom Hardy’s Bane from the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises.

Take a look.

All right, so maybe Winston is just quoting Bane because he looks like him in the picture wearing that mask. Still, it’s good to see Winston putting in the work with his fresh set of eyes.

For those of you jonesing for some Tom Hardy Bane, I’ve got you covered.
