Buccaneers Select Antoine Winfield Jr. In Second Round

The pick is in! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers used their second round pick to help shore up the secondary by taking safety Antoine Winfield Jr. out of Minnesota.

The 5’9” 203lb star player for the Golden Gophers is the son of former NFL player Antoine Winfield who played for Ohio State and the Minnesota Vikings.

He stepped into the starting lineup at safety for the Gophers in nine games as a true freshman, recording 52 stops, 2.5 for loss, four pass breakups and an interception (which he returned for an 82-yard score).
