It was widely assumed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would select an offensive tackle in round one of last week’s NFL draft, and they did so when they moved up a spot to 13 to draft Iowa’s Tristan Wirfs. Wirfs will join a line that will have to protect six-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady next year — no small task for any tackle, let alone a rookie.
But the Bucs will also need their defense to be just as high-powered as their offense, which is why they opted for a safety in round two over a running back. That safety turned out to be Minnesota’s Antoine Winfield Jr., son of former Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield Sr. The Minnesota star went to the Bucs with the 45th pick, and will instantly add explosiveness to a defense that needs help in the secondary.
Winfield Jr. seems thrilled about coming to Tampa Bay, and apparently, his draft day success can be credited to one lucky garment.
Take a look at his recent Instagram posts.
Wearing underwear and socks on a conference call? I like this guy’s style.
