Antoine Winfield, S, Minnesota
Post Combine
Nothing ground-breaking here: Antoine Winfield Jr. is just really good.
— Jake Burns (@jake_burns18) April 19, 2020
Twitchy, instinctual, and physical. If his injury issues are behind him, he is one hell of a prospect. All over the field for that. Minnesota defense.
Can play single-high, split, or in the box. Versatile. pic.twitter.com/PEukWq28gx
Winfield is very instinctual on the back end. Already moving towards the WR just as the QB winds up. Then shows his ball skills to come down with the INT pic.twitter.com/ysSjJhMdho

Back-to -back plays from Minnesota DS Antoine Winfield Jr. on the first drive versus Penn State. Tells you a lot of what you need to know about him as an evaluator! pic.twitter.com/8U8DlfFmyy

#Minnesota S Antoine Winfield, Jr. (5-foot-9, 203)
— Matt Bowen (@MattBowen41) March 2, 2020
• 40 = 4.45
• Vert = 36
Good fit for split-safety schemes. Ball skills. Plays with urgency. Fills downhill vs. the run.
Watch this clip vs. Penn State — Speed turn & track the ball. 7 INTs in ‘19. @NFLMatchup pic.twitter.com/mln6DdAmfw

Pre Combine
One of the easier evaluations I've done this year has been Antoine Winfield Jr.
— Russell Brown (@RussNFLDraft) February 15, 2020
Dude just balls whenever he's on the field. Terrific ball skills and overall a good tackler. Example of him coming downhill and making the tackle. An easy top-50 grade & day 2 pick for any team. pic.twitter.com/NOPsV9cmLt
Random and very unique stats for two of the better safety prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft Class:
— Dane Brugler (@dpbrugler) February 10, 2020
- Grant Delpit had 8 INTs in his #LSU career, but only 1 return yard.
- Antoine Winfield had 7 INTs in 2019 at #Minnesota, but only 1 pbu.
Antoine Winfield is a baller. Hits everything all the time all game. But I can’t help but see a shorter guy with average speed and athleticism. Can he be a nickel/overhang defender type because Idk if I’d want him playing the deep zones in my defense.
— Justen Gammel (@gamscout) February 8, 2020
Tough as nails! Endless ball skills and he has value in lots of areas. He will be a starter on special teams and as a nickel or strong safety quickly. Big fan of his game. https://t.co/AGy1zN6Fac

Antoine Winfield is officially in for the 2020 NFL Draft. Ball skills are his best trait, period.
— Nick Farabaugh (@FarabaughFB) January 8, 2020
Makes some absolutely insane plays on tape. He’s a straight up baller.
