New York Giants backup quarterback Jameis Winston is having the time of his life this summer, traveling the country as a special correspondent for FOX Sports’ FIFA World Cup coverage.
While most of the Giants’ players are taking time out this month to heal and clear their heads for the team’s upcoming training camp, Winston is cementing his post-playing career with his colorful and comical segments that have fans from many countries thoroughly entertained.
From Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic:
No one is staying booked and busy like quarterback Jameis Winston. The Giants veteran backup is working as a FIFA World Cup Correspondent for Fox Sports, and he’s been traveling the country as he intermingles with soccer fans. He’s been knighted by England fans, hung out with a goat in honor of Lionel Messi, found himself in the orange Dutch army and even helped Japanese fans clean up the stadium post-match. All that in addition to his work as the Giants’ backup, where he’s also spoken up after controversy. All this and the Giants veterans don’t report to training camp until late July!
Grace McCarron of the New York Post notes that Winston “has danced and sung with Colombian fans, gifted a U.S. fan his jersey and carried around a goat named Wesley dressed as Lionel Messi” during his travels this month.
