As the quarterback of the Buccaneers, Jameis Winston knew that he would be one of the focal points of this year’s Hard Knocks. He knew that he would have extra cameras around, some just to follow him. Hard Knocks even took a trip out to Winston’s hometown of Bessemer, Alabama, to visit his family and the house he grew up in. The added attention could be difficult, but Winston has embraced the opportunity.
“It was a blessing to be able to have that opportunity to show them where I came from,” he said during a press conference on Wednesday.
