Buccaneers-Saints tilt involves QBs with similar stories and plenty to prove | |
NEW ORLEANS (AP) Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback Baker Mayfield and New Orleans Saints backup Jameis Winston are not exactly where they were expected to be at this point in their careers. Both won a Heisman Trophy and were the No. 1 overall selections of their draft classes. Neither is with his first NFL team. “I don’t like comparing anybody’s story because every story is a little different,” Mayfield said. “But yeah, similar in the aspect of being the first pick (and) not having it exactly go as you wanted it to, but then getting opportunities to have a fresh start.” MORE |
