The defensive side of our Buccaneers quarter century team wraps up with the safeties. Let’s dive right into it.
Free Safety
First team: Antoine Winfield, Jr.
The Bucs came away with Tristan Wirfs AND Antoine Winfield, Jr. in top 50 picks of 2020 NFL Draft – let Jason Licht cook.
Winfield’s role on defense was nearly as critical as Wirfs’s was on offense. The son of NFL legend Antoine Winfield Sr., the junior Winfield stepped in and immediately became a full-season starter, forming a strong trio with Mike Edwards and Jordan Whitehead.
