The Facts: Winston has been named the Saints' starting quarterback and will make his first start for New Orleans on opening day vs. Green Bay Packers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Diehards Line:
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, reporting the same, notes the Saints have not yet made an official announcement, but given the way he played last week, this is not a surprise. It will also allow Taysom Hill to fill his valuable gadget/do-everything role. Despite not making the official announcement yet, HC Sean Payton did handle the QB news the right way, meeting with Hill yesterday. There were no surprises this morning.
