Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans believes Jameis Winston would still be his quarterback if Tom Brady didn't decide to sign a two-year contract with the Bucs during free agency in March.

Evans discussed Brady and Winston during an Instagram Live session with former Tampa Bay receiver Louis Murphy, and the 26-year-old called Brady "a franchise-changer":

Winston was selected No. 1 overall by Tampa in the 2015 NFL draft. The Buccaneers let him walk in free agency in favor of Brady, who had never been a free agent and played 20 years with the New England Patriots.
