Former FSU quarterback to cover Super Bowl for FOX Sports Digital
Former FSU quarterback to cover Super Bowl for FOX Sports Digital
Former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston has been hired as a correspondent for Fox Sports Digital ahead of the Super Bowl next week, according to a report from Front Office Sports.
The move will bring Winston back to New Orleans, where he played from 2020-23. He will reportedly be "taking the digital audience around New Orleans on video journeys showcasing his favorite dining and entertainment hot-spots."
Winston is one of the most popular players in the NFL due to his infectious personality and hilarious speeches and this role will give him a chance to create some more great moments.
The former Heisman winner played in 21 games during his time with the Saints, making 10 starts. He completed 59.9% (200-334) of his passes for 2,367 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He signed with the Cleveland Browns ahead of the 2024 season to serve as Deshaun Watson's backup.
Watson's struggles and then injury caused Winston to briefly take on a starting role and he played in 12 total games. He completed 61.1% (181-296) of his passes for 2,121 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions.
Winston won't be the only former Seminole at Super Bowl 25 as Josh Sweat and Johhny Wilson will play for the Philadelphia Eagles and Derrick Nnadi and Fabien Lovett Sr. will play for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, Feb. 9 at 6:30 p.m. ET and will be on FOX.
