Shaq Barrett says Bucs still believe in Jameis Winston ‘as crazy as it sounds’

Despite throwing for 30 interceptions this season, Buccaneers linebacker Shaquil Barrett says the team still believe in QB Jameis Winston.

The future of Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston will once again dominate headlines this offseason until we get a definitive answer from the team about whether or not they plan on keeping the former first overall pick around for another year.

After an historic season that saw Winston become the eighth quarterback in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season, and the first to throw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a season, the team can choose to go a number of different directions, including taking a quarterback in the 2020 NFL Draft.

But, if you ask Bucs linebacker Shaq Barrett, who had an historic season of his own by setting the franchise record for sacks in a season with 19.5, the team still believe in Winston, “as crazy as it sounds.”

Take a look at his interview from the 2020 Pro Bowl where he discusses the Bucs quarterback and his potential future with the team.
