NFL Power Rankings 2019: Raiders have helmet issues, Browns hype grows

22. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (25)

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers brought in head coach Bruce Arians this offseason for one reason — to get the most out of Jameis Winston. The former No. 1 overall pick out of Florida State has shown flashes but continues to play inconsistent football. Arians, a known quarterback guru, is hoping to get him on track.

Their first time working together in a live game was this Saturday and things looked good. Winston wasn’t on the field long, but as detailed by Cody Benjamin and Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports noted, he looked the part.

"“He played for less than a quarter, but Jameis Winston looked as comfortable as could be in his first official action under the guidance of new coach Bruce Arians on Friday, leading Tampa Bay on a 12-play, 81-yard touchdown drive to kick off his make-or-break season under center. Winston’s performance obviously carries all the caveats of starring in the preseason, but if you’re a Bucs fan, you couldn’t have asked for a much better, calmer showing, with Jameis finishing 5 of 6 for 40 yards and a TD to Chris Godwin.” — Benjamin and Dajani, CBS Sports"

Tampa Bay doesn’t have much of a running game, making it even more important that Winston succeeds under Arians. If he can do that, he would become the first Bucs quarterback to receive a second contract. If not, they will be starting over again real soon.
