Bucs QB Winston adept at reading defenses
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston passes under pressure in the first half of an NFL football game against the New Orleans Saints in New Orleans, Sunday.

“I’ve said many times, he’s a sharp character,’’ offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said of the No. 1 overall draft pick. “He can handle the checks. That’s not an issue.’’
