Barber: Winston will play with "no fear"

Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Ronde Barber has claimed that quarterback Jameis Winston will play with "no fear" in his rookie season.

The Buccaneers selected the 21-year-old with the first overall pick, and the quarterback has impressed his coaches with his performances in their minicamp.

Barber revealed that he was pleased with what he saw from Winston during the practice sessions, and feels that he will not be overawed by playing in the NFL.

"He gives you the spectacular, but he also gives you the rookie. But what I will say about [Jameis] is he plays with zero fear. He'll let go of any ball. He has that confidence," Barber told CBS.

"I've played against guys that have supreme confidence in themselves and their ability to make plays. You can already see it. He has no fear letting the ball go."

The Buccaneers open their 2015 campaign against the Tennessee Titans on September 13.
