How excited was Tampa Bay quarterback Jameis Winston when the Buccaneers selected Alabama tight end O.J. Howard in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday night?
Buccaneers general manage Jason Licht said Winston sent him a text "with about a million smiley faces."
Winston wasn't the only member of the Tampa Bay organization happy to have Howard become a Buccaneer.
"That's the biggest hug I've ever got from coach (Dirk) Koetter," Licht said.
Licht said the Buccaneers didn't expect Howard to be available at their spot in the first round - No.
