TAMPA — Even though he has the arm for it, the long ball was one of Jameis Winston's few short-comings.
But deep passes, defined by those that travel at least 20 yards through the air, will be back for the Bucs this season.
Tampa Bay was the only team in the NFL that didn't have an offensive play of 50 yards or more last season. That led to the signing of DeSean Jackson to a three-year, $30.5 million contract with $20 million guaranteed.
Jackson was one of the best home run hitters in 2016 with 16 catches of passes of at least 20 yards.
