Related Topics: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

On Sunday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will make their belated start to the 2017 season. After a surprise bye week courtesy of Hurricane Irma, it's understandable that Buccaneer players are champing at the bit to get on the field. Perhaps no one is more eager to play than third-year quarterback Jameis Winston, a true football obsessive.

The Buccaneers, of course, are eager to see what Winston can do in his third NFL season, especially after surrounding him with his most promising cast of targets yet. Head Coach Dirk Koetter, who was Winston's offensive coordinator in Year One and his head coach in Year Two, is certain that Winston is ready to take another step forward.
