Jameis Winston's fight, leadership helped lure T.J. Ward to Bucs

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans may want to burn the tape of last year's 27-7 beatdown by the Denver Broncos. But that game played a big role in selling newly acquired safety T.J. Ward on coming to Tampa Bay.

He really liked what he saw from quarterback Jameis Winston.

"His leadership and his ability out there on the field, playing against him last year really impressed me," said Ward, a three-time Pro Bowler.

In that game, Winston completed just 48.
