Tampa Bay Buccaneers: James Winston gets engaged
You may or may not know but Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is an expecting father. Well, now he and his long-time girlfriend have taken the next step in building their family.
It’s hard for some fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the NFL in general to understand the players are real people off the field. Not all. But some.
I’d like for it to be less common than it is, but it’s not uncommon to see a professional athelete post an image or tweet of themselves relaxing, not playing football or maybe even – gasp – partying.
More common on these posts is the appearance of ‘that guy’. Not always male, but nonetheless the nickname sticks. We all know them. The one who comments with, ‘shouldn’t you be working on your hands, not your tan?’ (Insert inquisitive emoji)
However, these players are people. And they have lives. One such life is awaiting the arrival of new life as Winston and his now fiancé are awaiting the arrival of a baby boy which was announced in February of this year.

Winston and Breion Allen have been together dating back to before the quarterback was a nation-wide star and face of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, it looks like they play to be together long after those days are over.
Thus far, fans have appeared to allow their quarterback this moment to enjoy his personal life and celebrate the building of his family.
Teammates are littered on the post wishing the couple well and congratulating the both of them as they begin their life as husband and wife.
Allen has long been central in Winston’s support system throughout his successes and his many controversies. She’s stood by him all this time, and is almost assuredly a major player in his resiliency.
The NFL life is a hard one. Time consuming and taxing. It’s important the players have their rocks to lean on.
Congratulations to the couple for finding each other, and good luck to both of them as they move on to the next chapter.
