Jameis Winston apparently isn't that far off from being a young version of Peyton Manning.

At least in Tony Dungy's eyes.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts head coach appeared on Monday's episode of the Dan Patrick Show and said he would take Winston over Cam Newton at this point in their respective careers while making the comparison.

"You look at Jameis' numbers and Peyton Manning's numbers in those first five years, there's not a lot of difference other than Peyton's team won more," Dungy said.
