TAMPA, Florida -- Jameis Winston gets to work at 5:45 a.m., before anyone else is in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' building. He stays until everyone else is gone. Before a game, he personally fist-bumps every one of his teammates and tells them, "I've got your back."
If you've watched the first two episodes of "Hard Knocks," you already know this. And if you think it's all for show, you're not totally wrong. But the show goes on even when the cameras aren't there. And the show isn't for us. It's for his teammates.
"Honestly, that's just a mentality," Winston, the Bucs' third-year quarterback, said after a late July training camp practice.
