It's obvious due to the fact that Jameis Winston is in the mix for the 2016 Rookie of the Year voting that he had one heck of a season. In total, Winston topped 4,000 passing yards, while scoring 28 combined touchdowns.

Those 28 touchdowns, well, they were good enough for the third most in history by a rookie quarterback.

Via the team's official Twitter:

If you go through the post you can also check out each and every one of Winston's touchdowns. The man didn't look like a rookie very often, and it was great to watch him mature as the season went along.
