Jameis Winston has become one of the NFL’s most entertaining players. His antics can make people laugh, even though he isn’t trying hard. Being a natural comic earned him a role in Fox Sports’ media team for Super Bowl LIX.
Winston will join the team as a Digital Correspondent who will cover the rematch between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. He’s a perfect fit for the role, given that there’s no dead air in him. Even the way he delivers play calls on the huddle can make people laugh.

Winston played the 2024 season for the Cleveland Browns, his third NFL team. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made him the top overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He played there for four seasons before signing with the New Orleans Saints.
If all goes well, Jameis Winston can make a seamless transition from player to broadcaster. People will pay attention to what he will say and how he will say it.
