Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Increases numbers across the board in 2016 season

Winston finished the 2016 season with a 60.8 completion rate and 4,090 passing yards along with 28 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. He also gained 165 yards and a touchdown on 53 rushes.

Analysis:

The 2015 first overall pick underwent a physical transformation last offseason and reportedly was very diligent in his preparation, which paid off in across-the-board improvement in 2016. Winston established new career highs in every major offensive category, but also saw an undesireable increase in turnovers. Winston threw three more interceptions this year than he did in his rookie season, and he doubled the three fumbles he was guilty of in 2015. While he did have some notable single-game performances -- including tallies of 312, 331 and a career-high 405 yards passing -- the former Seminole struggled at times during the Bucs' playoff push, completing less than 60 percent of his passes in two of the last four games. However, he was unquestionably compromised by a slew of injuries to the receiver position; overall, he certainly provided plenty of reason for optimism heading into 2017. If the Bucs are able to upgrade their receiver depth through either free agency or the draft -- and Doug Martin is able to make a full recovery from the personal issues that are reportedly plaguing him -- Winston should be primed for another bump in performance next season.
