Louis Murphy is a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His new quarterback is former Florida State signal-caller Jameis Winston, who the team selected with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft.Murphy happened to play his college ball at the University of Florida. While a Gator, Murphy's quarterback was none other than Tim Tebow.While many would be hard pressed to find any similarities between those two quarterbacks, whether in terms of their performance or their personality, it wasn't difficult for Murphy to see at least one. During a recent Sirius XM Radio appearance, Murphy was asked if he was worried about Winston's well-chronicled off-field issues, and he cited Winston's similarities to Tebow in his response."No, not really," Murphy said, per NFL.com. "I just saw how much of a competitor he is. He competes. He doesn't like losing. He wants to win and that's a guy I want to play with. He's young, kind of similar to Tim Tebow in a way, he just wants to win. He'll do anything it takes to win. But he's young, everyone makes mistakes ... I'm just really excited to be with a guy who is really passionate about playing this game."Winston has drawn much praise for his attitude and leadership on the football field, both in the lead-up to the draft and in the days since, so it's not surprising to hear that Murphy is impressed with that aspect of Winston's character. It's Winston's off-field behavior that was, is, and will likely remain a concern. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/25201694/bucs-wr-louis-murphy-says-jameis-winston-reminds-him-of-tim-tebow
