Jameis Winston traded the gridiron for the world\u2019s game this summer, living it up with a different kind of football (and football fans) as a FOX Sports World Cup correspondent for the 2026 tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winston \u2014 the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner and current quarterback for the New York Giants \u2014 will take the hype around the largest World Cup yet, as a 48-team tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at some of the best moments from Winston\u2019s World Cup journey:<\/p>\n
Tuesday ahead of Argentina’s World Cup opener against Algeria in Kansas City, Winston was getting pumped for the match. But he wasn’t alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Winston had a pal with him, a literal real-life goat, who was perfectly dressed for the occasion in a Lionel Messi jersey. This World Cup is expected to be Messi’s last, and because of that, it’s worth celebrating and savoring every moment the GOAT is on the pitch.<\/p>\n
Winston continues to be a national treasure when it comes to his involvement in the World Cup this year. He was spotted helping Japanese fans clean up the stands (a tradition that was spotlighted after the team’s first World Cup in 1998) following Japan’s thrilling 2-2 draw with the Netherlands on Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The FOX Sports broadcast team, featuring Rob Stone, couldn\u2019t contain their excitement for Winston as the feed shifted over to him in the crowd.<\/p>\n
“Jameis Winston is working with the Japanese national team to clean up Dallas Stadium,” Stone said. “He\u2019s a man of the people. Show me a number one draft pick in NFL history who takes out his own garbage bag and cleans up inside the stadium.<\/p>\n
Jameis got up close and personal with one of the best fan bases in the world in Dallas, where the Netherlands and the always raucous “Oranje Army” know how to make an entrance.<\/p>\n
Winston rode along with the Dutch fans in their “Oranje Army Bus” and admitted that “there’s nothing bigger than the Dutch Army.”<\/p>\n
USA! USA!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jameis took in the sights and sounds at Los Angeles Stadium for the United States’ opening match Friday, which included meeting up with influencer IShowSpeed. Not a bad way to see one of the USA’s biggest wins ever at a World Cup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
