Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Starts preseason strong

Winston completed seven of nine passes for 97 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's preseason opener against the Eagles.

Analysis:

Winston did lose a fumble on a sack, but he then bounced back to lead the Bucs on a seven-play, 79-yard scoring drive, capped off by a 26-yard touchdown strike to WR Russell Shepard. Although the second-year quarterback didn't have any rush attempts in Thursday's game, he should be a bit quicker on his feet this season, after losing approximately 20 pounds since last year.
