Bucs GM: Jameis Winston is 'best leader I think I've ever been around'

TAMPA, Fla. -- The fourth episode of the HBO series "Hard Knocks," which is chronicling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, aired Tuesday night. Here are highlights from the show:

Jameis the leader: Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht is a big fan of Jameis Winston, and it starts with an appreciation for the leadership ability of his franchise quarterback. "If you've got a guy like Jameis, he's the reason we got [receiver] DeSean Jackson, because DeSean turned down more money to come here because he wanted to play with him," Licht told Tampa Bay Lightning assistant GM Julien BriseBois, who was visiting his office.
