Jameis Winston, WWE star treat Tampa youth to 'Black Panther' screening

TAMPA, Fla. -- This past weekend, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and WWE Superstar Titus O'Neil treated approximately 130 students in the Tampa area to a screening of the movie "Black Panther."

The students, ranging from 13-18 years old, had to submit Winston an essay on which African-American leaders inspired them the most. Winston and O'Neil even wore dashikis to the outing, which are colorfully patterned garments that originated in West Africa.

Winston and Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy also teamed up with O'Neil to host a free screening of the film when it was first released, bringing the total to 2,000 kids and counting.
