Jameis Winston done for season with torn ACL; can Saints thrive with Taysom Hill?

Jameis Winston was in the process of reinventing himself as an NFL quarterback when his season ended.

Winston, who was having a good season for the New Orleans Saints without many of the turnovers that plagued him early in his career, tore his ACL on a tackle from behind against his old team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bucs linebacker Devin White grabbed Winston from behind on a run and Winston's knee bent awkwardly. Tests confirmed a torn ACL with damage to the MCL too, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

What happens next with Winston will be an interesting story.
