After Tom Brady signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, Winston look for a fresh start in New Orleans. He started as the third-string quarterback behind Drew Brees and Taysom Hill.
This past season, he shared the starting position with Hill and Trevor Sieman. Now, the Saints’ new Head Coach Dennis Allen will have to decide who will be the starting quarterback this season between Hill and Winston.
In his two seasons with the Saints, Winston has thrown for 13001 passing yards and 15 passing touchdowns in 12 games, including the playoff matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
