Winston, Evans an Unprecedented Combo

In recent days, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made note of two interesting facts regarding a pair of very young players on their roster. First, 21-year-old quarterback Jameis Winston became the youngest player ever to pass for 3,000 yards in a season when he surpassed that mark in Week 14 against New Orleans. Four days later in St. Louis, 22-year-old wide receiver Mike Evans crossed the 1,000-yard receiving mark, making him just the second player to do that twice before the age of 23, the first being Randy Moss.
