Football fans in the Big Easy that were eager to catch the first glimpse of Jameis Winston in a New Orleans Saints uniform were treated to just that on Friday -- well, sort of -- and our guess is that they were pretty taken aback.

The longtime Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback posted a photo on Instagram of him in a Saints helmet, and to say that his neck looks extremely weird would be an understatement.

"I just like how the helmet glistening with my melanin!" read Winston's caption.

We don't disagree, but we also can't ignore how ridiculously long the former No. 1 overall pick's neck looks here. Was it always like this? Did the Bucs never post any profile-angled photos of their former gunslinger across his five-year stint in Tampa?

It's truly anyone's guess. What's so strange is that the helmet looks as though it fits him perfectly. This isn't us bashing Winston's physical features, either. We're just accustomed to NFL players having hardly any neck showing underneath their respective helmets.

If nothing else, this picture is further proof that Winston is one of a kind.
