Bruce Arians represents Jameis Winston's last and best chance to turn his career around in Tampa Bay.
The new Buccaneers coach joined The Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday and effusively praised his latest quarterback pupil.
"His willingness to work is unbelievable," Arians said, via Greg Auman of The Athletic. "He's in the office at 5 o'clock in the morning. I have no qualms about that. There's no doubt. The whole thing is going to be built around him."
Winston enters the final year of his rookie deal with his future very much in doubt. Aside from an up-and-down on-field career, the 25-year-old quarterback has off-field con- cerns as well. Arians believes his long-time relationship with Winston can help both be- tween the lines and outside them.
On the field, Winston has struggled throughout his first

four years with turnovers, com- piling 58 interceptions and 18 lost fumbles. Winston's pocket presence, footwork and decision making must improve under Arians. Too often the quarterback gets happy feet under pressure and makes poor decisions that lead to turnovers.
Arians' track record with quarterbacks and field-stretch- ing offense seem like a perfect fit on paper to unleash Win- ston's boundless, but still raw talent. If Winston can't win
with Arians, it might never happen in the NFL.
The Bucs' new coach be- lieves his quarterback can lead Tampa to the promised land.
"I think he can win it all," Arians said. "I mean, he has the intelligence, the toughness, and obviously the arm, ability to lead a team. We have to put the right pieces around him."
It's GM Jason Licht's job to put those pieces around Winston. The first and biggest piece is Arians.

BRUCE ARIANS AND JAMEIS WINSTON
Shaquille O'Neal has re- portedly offered to help pay for Jazmine Barnes' fu- neral, which took place Tues- day.
O'Neal is following in the footsteps of Houston Texan wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The four-time NBA champion presented Jazmine's family with a cashiers check.
This isn't the first time O'Neal has helped a family in need. In April 2017, O'Neal also covered the expenses of Atlanta teen Malachi Hemphill, who accidentally killed himself on Instagram Live.

However, on Satur- day, January 6th, suspects Eric Black, Jr, 20 and Larry Woodruffe, 24, were brought into custody without incident. Black, who drove the vehicle, has been charged with capital murder. Woodruffe who sat in the passenger was charged on
