Jameis Winston set a number of records on Sunday.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' sophomore quarterback became the first player in league history to begin his career with consecutive seasons of 4,000 yards passing, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.

Winston surpassed the 4,000 mark in the final week of the season by throwing for more than 200 yards against the Carolina Panthers.

The 22-year-old also broke the franchise record for the most touchdown passes in a single season by throwing his 28th touchdown to Mike Evans in the fourth quarter of the game.
