Jameis Lanaed Winston (/ˈdʒeɪmɪs/ JAY-miss; born January 6, 1994) is an American professional football quarterback for the New York Giants of the National Football League (NFL). Winston 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. He was 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 played for the New Orleans Saints and Cleveland Browns, alternating as a starter and backup, before joining the Giants in 2025.
