Jameis Winston is a name that will echo in NFL history long after his playing days are over—and it's not just because of his arm. The former No. 1 overall pick has carved out a reputation as one of sports' most unforgettable personalities, thanks to his infectious energy and legendary one-liners like the now-iconic "nom, nom, nom. That's a W. Let's eat one." Fans tune in just to see what he'll say next.

This summer, Winston is trading the gridiron for the global stage. He's signed on as a correspondent for Fox Sports during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Fox Sports announced the move on Wednesday, May 6, with a playful post on X that read, "Putting the W in World Cup!"

But don't worry, Giants fans—Winston isn't hanging up his cleats just yet. He's entering the second year of his two-year, $8 million deal with New York and has started two games for the team in 2025 (both losses). Still, he's clearly thinking ahead. Winston already dipped his toes into broadcasting as a Fox Sports correspondent during Super Bowl week in 2025 and appeared on Netflix's coverage of the 2026 MLB opener.

In a reveal video shared on X, Winston couldn't contain his excitement: "Can't wait to be back with the @FoxSports team and be part of the biggest global sporting event in the World!" The clip shows him breaking the news to his Giants teammates—Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, Malik Nabers, Brian Burns, and Jermaine Eluemunor—as well as his mom, Loretta, and Fox soccer analysts Stu Holden and Alexi Lalas. Naturally, Winston let out a booming "Goooooooooooooooal!" and asked Skattebo, "Can you imagine seeing the World Cup through my eyes?"

Winston's journey to this moment has been anything but ordinary. The Heisman Trophy winner led Florida State to a national title in 2013 before the Buccaneers made him the No. 1 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. Over five seasons in Tampa Bay, he started 70 games with a 28-42 record, but his charisma has always transcended the stat sheet. Now, he's bringing that same flair to soccer's biggest event.

The 2026 World Cup kicks off on June 10, co-hosted by the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. All 104 matches will air on Fox, Fox Sports 1, and the Fox Sports and Fox One apps. With Winston on the scene, expect plenty of memorable moments—and maybe a few more catchphrases along the way.
