In 2023, Antoine Winfield Jr. turned in one of the greatest statistical seasons by a safety in NFL history.

According to Buccaneers.com, he became the first player since data tracking began in 1999 to record 100-plus tackles and at least three interceptions, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries, and sacks in a single season.

He was also the only defensive back since 2000 to notch six or more sacks and six or more forced fumbles in a season, and the only DB with seven or more takeaways and five-plus sacks.
