Jameis Winston

QB
Buccaneers

Drafted: No. 1 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015.

Generally speaking, Winston is the most polished pocket passer on this list. A lack of consistency and erratic ball security are the two main factors keeping him from sustained excellence in the NFL. One week, he'll throw for 375 yards, and you'll get excited. And then the next week, he'll put up 150 yards with a handful of turnovers. I think Winston just has to learn to not take as many chances and to force the ball less. I'd also like to see him be a bigger running threat. That said, he was further hampered by the lack of a real rushing attack in Tampa. If some semblance of a ground game can be assembled, the other pieces are in place -- including one of the best receivers in the NFL in Mike Evans, plus DeSean Jackson, Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard -- for Winston to really break out in 2018.

Career stats: 45 games | 45 starts (18-27) | 60.8 pct | 11,636 pass yds | 7.5 ypa | 69 pass TD | 44 INT | 87.2 passer rating
