N.Y. Giants QB Jameis Winston is serving as a roaming, social-first correspondent for Fox’s 2026 FIFA World Cup coverage, chosen because company execs viewed Winston someone who could build a bridge between the general sports fan and the World Cup.
Before the Super Bowl in 2025, we met with our leadership and said we didn’t want to do something that had already been done. We identified Jameis that year as someone who was, by every metric we could count, the number one NFL player on social, just for his virality, his moments and his Jameisisms.-- Fox Sports Exec Dir of Digital & Social Nick Rago, on why the network chose N.Y. Giants QB Jameis Winston as a roaming, social-first correspondent for its World Cup coverage.
