Forget the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs; Jameis Winston was the true winner during Super Bowl Opening Night.

The free-agent quarterback traded in his cleats for a microphone on Monday night to join Fox Sports. He spent the evening traveling between interview stations so that he could ask the top players in Super Bowl 59 the biggest questions. Examples include "What is your favorite color?"
"You been here before, man, you're going for your fourth Super Bowl with this organization, man," Winston said while talking to Chiefs defender Chris Jones. "What all of us really want to know here today, brother, is what's your favorite color?"

The question clearly caught Jones off-guard as he laughed for several seconds. He had to cover his face with his hands before finally responding. The answer, as many expected, was red.
The night continued as Winston made the rounds. He learned that DeVonta Smith's favorite color is pink and that Zack Braun's favorite color is orange. He also learned that he can not do an Australian accent.
Of course, Winston didn't simply ask prominent players about colors during Super Bowl Opening Night. He also asked them to eat some W's while referencing one of his numerous viral pre-game moments. He then tossed each player a cookie shaped like a W.
Some of these throws were on-target. Smith and Braun each had clean receptions for the Philadelphia Eagles. The passes to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce were not the best.
The first throw to Kelce resulted in a clean interception. The second throw was off-target. The third throw resulted in another clean reception.
Of course, Winston was unfazed by the miss as he said, "You know somebody always trying to intercept my stuff."

Of course, one moment from Super Bowl Opening Night that caught the attention of NFL fans happened when Winston spoke to Saquon Barkley. He asked the Eagles running back which team should sign him now that he is a free agent.
"I think New York needs a quarterback right now," Barkley responded. When pressed for more information, Barkley confirmed that he was talking about his former team, the Giants.
Barkley was not the only player trying to help Winston find a job on Super Bowl Opening Night. According to Fox Sports, DeAndre Hopkins also tried recruiting the veteran quarterback so he could join the Chiefs as a backup. Hopkins even did so after Winston went 1-4 on W cookie throws.
