Winston, a former No. 1 overall pick in 2015, was a star in both football and baseball in high school and has played with multiple teams in the NFL, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. After stepping in for Cleveland Browns’ Deshaun Watson last season, Winston is now looking for a new challenge. He’s excited about the opportunity with the Giants, even though they’re in the middle of a quarterback overhaul.
Though he was aiming for a starting spot or a bridge role, Winston is up for competing with another veteran or mentoring a rookie. He has a wealth of experience, having learned from top quarterbacks like Drew Brees, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Derek Carr. If the Giants draft a rookie QB, he’s more than happy to take on a mentoring role.
Winston believes the Giants, despite their recent struggles, have a lot of potential. He sees a strong defense and an offense with room to grow, making it an exciting place to be. He’s hopeful about the team’s future and looks forward to being part of their comeback story.
