Jameis Winston is going back to the Bayou.

Winston will serve as a correspondent for Fox Sports Digital in New Orleans next week leading up to the Super Bowl, sources told Front Office Sports. A Fox Sports spokesperson declined to comment.

Winston, who played quarterback for the Saints from 2020 to 2023 and last year for the Browns, will be taking the digital audience around New Orleans on video journeys showcasing his favorite dining and entertainment hot-spots. Now a free agent, Winston has become a cult-like figure among football fans who gravitate toward his infectious personality. 

Other Fox talents around New Orleans next week will include gambling analyst Chris “The Bear” Fallica, former NFL offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz, and writers Greg Auman and Henry McKenna. David Helman will also be hosting his NFL podcast from the Big Easy, and Keyshawn Johnson’s All Facts No Brakes pod will be taped live from Bourbon Street. 

Fox is the rightsholder for next Sunday’s Super Bowl between the Eagles and Chiefs.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
