Jameis Lanaed Winston (/ˈmɪs/ JAY-miss; born January 6, 1994) is an American professional football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Florida State Seminoles, becoming the youngest player to win the Heisman Trophy and leading his team to victory in the 2014 BCS National Championship Game during his freshman year before being selected first overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2015 NFL draft.

Winston set several franchise rookie records for the Buccaneers, earning him Pro Bowl honors, and led the league in passing yards during the 2019 season. However, he was unable to reach the playoffs with Tampa Bay and his 2019 campaign was also marked with him leading the league in interceptions, including setting the NFL season record for interceptions returned for touchdowns. After his rookie contract with the Buccaneers expired, Winston joined Tampa Bay's NFL South divisional rival New Orleans Saints, where he alternated as a starter and backup for four seasons. He later signed a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns, where he became a starter after an injury to Deshaun Watson.
