Bucs' Roster Filled with Fast Starters

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston just finished his third NFL season with a career total of 11,636 passing yards (so far). In NFL history, only Andrew Luck (12,957) and Peyton Manning (12,287) had more during their first three years in the league.

Luck and Manning both started their careers in Indianapolis, of course, and so it is obvious that Winston set the Buccaneers' franchise record in that category. Prior to Winston's fast start from 2015-17, Josh Freeman had set the team mark with 8,898 passing yards in his first three campaigns, 2009-11.

Winston is not the only current Buccaneer who has shot out of the gate in his particular statistical category.
