The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have moved on from quarterback Jameis Winston, but the former number one overall pick isn’t moving on from Tampa.
Winston saw his five-year run with the Bucs come to an end this offseason after they signed six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in free agency. Winston recently landed in New Orleans, agreeing to a one-year deal to sit and learn behind veteran Drew Brees.
But despite finding a new team in a new city, Winston still intends to make Tampa his home, and was out and about in the community yesterday handing out meals to help those in need during the coronavirus crisis.
Take a look.
Jameis Winston said he has signed with the Saints but will stay a Tampa resident and intends the keep the home his family has here moving forward. Will continue to work to help his community here as well.

Winston said Tampa schools have had good programs to help kids stay properly fed during the week, so his emphasis has been on weekends. He’s helping by donating 1,000 meals on next four Saturdays and helping support eight local restaurants.
