WATCH: Saints players go silent at party after Jameis Winston shoots daggers 

The New Orleans Saints were off to a pretty good start with Jameis Winston last year. They were on course to making the playoffs before he got injured, and ended up about a game shy of the final spot. Despite his ACL tear, the Saints re-signed him to a two-year deal.

Winston has had an interesting NFL career. He's been a starter for years and even made the Pro Bowl once. He's also the only NFL player to ever throw 30 touchdowns and 30 interceptions in a single season.

If there were questions regarding Winston's leadership, they should be put to rest after seeing this viral video.

Saints players are seen having a good time, drinking and enjoying a party, but their quarterback, who is recovering from an ACL tear, looks at them disapprovingly.

He glances at his teammates with fire in his eyes, and they all immediately fall silent and regret their decision. It's clear that the former Buccaneer is still a leader on the team.

How will the New Orleans Saints fare with Jameis Winston next season?

The Saints very nearly nabbed the final playoff spot in the NFC last season. But they couldn't steal it away from the San Francisco 49ers, who went on to defeat the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers en route to an NFC Championship appearance.

The former Buccaneer only played seven games last season, going 5-2. While they probably wouldn't have finished among the top teams with the former Heisman winner healthy, they would have probably made the playoffs.

If he can recover and stay healthy this year, New Orleans will probably be as good if not better than last season. They've maintained much of last season's team and added several key players through free agency and the draft.

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is now in town. Tyrann Mathieu has come in from Kansas City and Daniel Sorenson is also on the roster. Michael Thomas will actually play this year after missing the last season.

Chris Olave, one of the most highly-touted receivers in the draft, also fell to the Saints. With Alvin Kamara, a healthy Jameis Winston and company, New Orleans will be able to compete for the NFC South.

Tom Brady and the Buccaneers will be favored, but New Orleans will hope to finish ahead of a revamped Carolina Panthers led by Baker Mayfield.
