Winston is looking to get back to the weight that he played at as a freshman at Florida State in 2012, the Tampa Bay Times reports. "Trying to lose some weight, try to get back skinny," Winston noted recently. "Right now I'm 238 (pounds), I'm trying to be my redshirt freshman year (weight), about 230."

Analysis:

In addition to trying to trim down, Winston is immersing himself in the Bucs' playbook as training camp approaches. At this stage, the rookie is on track to start at QB for the team, backed up by Mike Glennon, and while there could be some growing pains out of the gate, Winston's cause -- in both real and fantasy terms -- is aided by the fact that he will be working with a talented trio of 6-foot-5 pass-catchers in wideouts Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans, along with tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
