To Be Buccaneers
Starting QB In 2019
The Buccaneers intend to keep Jameis Winston as their starting quarterback in 2019.
The 24-year-old is 21–32 as Tampa Bay's starter since being drafted with the No. 1 pick in 2015.
Winston sat out the first three games of 2018, sus- pended for violating the league's personal conduct policy. He has started eight games for the Buccaneers this season, going 3–5 as a starter. Ryan Fitzpatrick has made seven starts as Tampa Bay's signal caller.

Nation's Oldest World War II Vet Dies In Texas At Age 112
Richard Overton, who died Thursday, survived Iwo Jima and became a media sensation in recent years.
Richard Overton, the nation’s oldest living World War II veteran, died on Thurs- day.
He was 112, which is not a typo.
By some accounts, Over- ton was also the oldest living man in the United States.
Over the past two decades, as the nation mourned hun- dreds of thousands of mem- bers of the Greatest Generation, Overton plugged along in the Austin home that he bought for a few thousand dollars in 1945.
As his years piled up, so did his honors.
Austin named a street after him. When he was governor, Rick Perry came to visit with Overton on his porch. And in 2013, President Obama cel- ebrated Overton on Veterans Day, inviting him to a cere- mony at Arlington National Cemetery where he recounted his days in the all-black 1887th Engineer Aviation Battalion.
“He was there at Pearl Harbor, when the battleships were still smoldering,” Obama said. “He was there at Okinawa. He was there at Iwo Jima, where he said, ‘I only got out of there by the grace of God.’ ”
