Winston has been working on improving multiple aspects of his game during the offseason, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

The 2015 first-overall pick has reportedly been busy, working with a personal trainer this offseason, hitting the weight room at One Buc Place on a regular basis, and even getting in some self-directed resistance work on the facility's practice fields. Winston has also engaged in off-campus throwing sessions with receiver Mike Evans in an effort to improve the timing between the two, which was lacking on multiple occasions last season. New Bucs head coach Dirk Koetter will have plenty for his sophomore quarterback to work on once OTAs officially begin as well. "When we get him back in the building, we have a long list of things we want to work on, starting with the deep ball," Koetter said of Winston. "We need to be more consistent throwing and catching the deep ball." Despite Winston garnering Rookie of the Year honors and setting franchise rookie records with 4,024 yards passing and 22 touchdowns -- as well as the Bucs tying for the league lead with 139 plays of 20 yards or greater -- he often missed open receivers down the field throughout his rookie campaign.
