Reminds me of Tyrann Mathieu. Just a hell of a football playmaker.

Winfield has time to build up that resume, but injuries take out some of the best in their prime. It's a tough game and he isn't Tyrann Mathieu yet...

It's hard to rack up those type of accolades in Tampa. Lavonte David is a hall of famer going off his numbers he's right there with best LB's of his era should have a resume similar to Bobby Wagner but it's not even close with the pro bowls and all pros.

They voted Budda Baker to the pro bowl over Winfield Jr who was the best DB in football and first team all pro.

Accolades in the 2010s mean absolutely nothing in 2024.

Mathieu has never had a season comparable to Winfield’s 2023 and has been voted one of the most overrated players in the league several times.

He’s not what he used to be but in his prime, that dude was far from overrated.

His dad was amazing and the most fearless player for his size in the run game I’ve seen. Urban fricked up by not offering Jr.

What’s funny is when Honey Badger emerged at LSU, he reminded me of Winfield Sr the way he could launch himself into the fray as a smaller dude and deactivate an offense.
