Broncos Impressed With Jameis Winston

As dominant as the Broncos and their defense have been, they’re saying all the right things when it comes to the leadership and skill level of Jameis Winston.

This Sunday’s game between the Buccaneers and Broncos is not going to be a pretty one. The Bucs simply do not match up well against the Broncos across the board and it has all the makings of a blowout. All that being said, the Broncos recognize what a special talent Jameis Winston is and what he brings to the table.

When speaking with the Tampa media, Denver head coach Gary Kubiak was asked him impressions of Winston;

"“I think confidence is what jumps to me. As many times as they’re throwing the ball, that’s confidence in his decision-making and his ability to make plays. When things break down, he’s obviously very dangerous [at] extending plays and those type of things. For a young player who’s going into year two, obviously the progress he’s made and the numbers he’s able to put up on Sunday is something that we’ve got to deal with this weekend, so we respect that.”"

Winston adds an immeasurable every time he steps on the field: heart.

This kid always wants to win and will fight and claw to give his team the chance to do so. He’s preparing for his biggest test thus far as an NFL quarterback – facing Von Miller. Miller is a one man wrecking crew and will make it his mission to put Jameis on the turf every chance he gets.

Lining up across from top receiver Mike Evans will be former Buccaneer and elite corner Aqib Talib. Talib spoke about facing a guy like Winston as he makes his return to Tampa for the first time since being traded;

"“I thought he had a great year. He slowed down last year, but I think he had a great year last year. For a rookie, he came out and showed great confidence. I think that’s the thing that jumps off of the tape when you talk about Jameis, is his confidence. You watch his interviews, the guy is confident. You can tell [from] the throws he makes in the game that the guy is confident in his players and he’s confident in his own arm.”"
