During the pre-draft process, Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter was hesitant to talk about Jameis Winston.

On Monday, Koetter’s thoughts all came out. Koetter even recalled the moment he knew Winston should be taken with the No. 1 overall pick over Marcus Mariota. It came during Winston’s official visit to One Buccaneer Place. Quarterbacks coach Mike Bajakian went through an installation session with Winston.

“Mike was flying,” Koetter said. “Mike was going fast. Took a little break, had lunch, he met with some other people. We went back in the room and put the tape on and said “What’s this? What’s this? What’s this?” He did really well, very impressive.

“That was probably pretty high for me right there. We had already looked at every snap for two years on both guys. That point right there because both guys are obviously very good football players, I’ve been around some good guys, but that was impressive — his recall.”
