That Hard Knocks season premiere was pretty cool, but one moment stood out to me: Gerald McCoy listing a bunch of Bucs players to emphasize that Jameis Winston is more important to the team than all of them.
That happened in an interview that was framed as taking place after McCoy accidentally brushed against Winston (a massive no-no—no one touches the quarterback in practice).
Here’s what McCoy said:
“3 is the franchise. Forget 93, forget 13, 11 and 1—I don’t know what he’s going to be on any given day—91, 98, 54, 58.
