Buccaneers' Jameis Winston: Expected to throw more on move next season

Winston, who showed above-average accuracy when throwing on the run last season, is expected to have more designed rollout plays called for him in 2017, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. "When Jameis was outside the pocket and had multiple receivers to throw it to or run it at times, we did well," said head coach Dirk Koetter. "So I would say we will continue to build that part of the offense."

Analysis:

The third-year quarterback wasn't really lauded for his mobility coming into the NFL, but he's been serviceable when scrambling and throwing on the move over his first two campaigns. Winston scored six rushing touchdowns in his rookie 2015 season, and, after focusing last offseason on improving his accuracy when throwing on the run, was one of the better outside-the-pocket passers in the league in 2016. The Bucs certainly took note as the season went on, increasing their use of a "small movement package" that they'd installed early in the season as Winston found more and more success when firing while on the move. With a receiving corps already significantly boosted by the acquisition of speedster DeSean Jackson in free agency -- and with some additional talent expected to be added in the upcoming draft -- Winston should be more dangerous than ever when he takes off and looks downfield in 2017.
