Jameis Winston’s an aggressive passer. That should be obvious to anyone who’s watched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play, including head coach Dirk Koetter—who has some mixed opinions on all those risky passes. I like them, though: it’s a lot easier to be successful with an overly aggressive passer than with one who refuses to make tough throws.
No surprise, then, that Football Outsiders ranked Jameis Winston as the fifth-most aggressive quarterback for ESPN, based on third-down throws. Winston lows to take shots, after all.
Both Winston and Newton averaged more than 10.
