The Buccaneers took offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs in round one of April’s NFL draft to be a force up front for new quarterback Tom Brady. But in round two, Tampa Bay chose to take one of the draft’s most dynamic defensive players to be a part of this young and promising defense in Antoine Winfield Jr.
If the name sounds familiar, it’s because Winfield’s father, Antoine Winfield Sr., was a Pro Bowl cornerback in the NFL, making his biggest mark with the Minnesota Vikings.
The younger Winfield knows it is his job to carry on the family name in the NFL now, and he took a moment today to wish his dad and role model a happy Father’s Day on Instagram.
Take a look.
