Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston spoke to Peter King of The MMQB on Tuesday about a rookie season that had its ups and downs and ultimately ended with the firing of head coach Lovie Smith after the team finished 6-10.
Winston's biggest takeaway from the year was the importance of protecting the football:
When you turn the ball over in the NFL, you don’t know when you are going to get that chance back. At Florida State, I knew that I was going to get that chance back, because we were one of the better teams in college football.
