Everyone seems to be set on the Winston to Evans connection that they refuse to remember that the bucs also have a 3 time pro bowler and 6 time thousand yard season receiver in Vincent Jackson. Jackson had a long injury riddled season last year where he missed 6 games which is the reason for his drop off, not because of his age(33) as many people had thought.
If you take one look at Jackson you can see he takes his career seriously and may be the most physically fit buccaneer on the roster. Everyone is so enamored and happy about Brent Grimes and he is soon to be 33 as well, but he's not getting the negativity Jackson is. When healthy Jackson can form the twin towers the bucs were hoping for and I'm sure he's primed to show that this season. Also keep in mind early in the season against the great Carolina defense and Josh Norman, VJax had a 10 catch 147 yard day to go along with one score.
Look for Jackson to return to his pro bowl form again in 2016 as it is a contract year and you know last year left a bad taste in his mouth. Remember there are 2, 6'5 monster wide receivers Winston has to throw to, not just one.
