The defensive players continued to shine during the final day of testing on Sunday. Teams in need of adding talent to the defensive secondary paid close attention to this crop of talent, with cornerbacks and safeties participating in on-field drills. Who among them was able to raise their draft stock and stand out amongst the crowd?
Minnesota Safety Antoine Winfield, Jr
One of my personal favorites in the entire 2020 NFL Draft class is Minnesota’s Antoine Winfield, Jr. After a stellar 2019 season, Winfield was selected as a representative for the 2019 All-American team. He was a leader all year for the Golden Gopher’s defense who was instrumental in one of the greatest seasons in program history. He put on one of the best Combine workouts of any player there, not just defensive backs. If I were a general manager, I would make him the first safety off the board but we shall see if others agree with me. He was so fluid and natural during drills and he was able to impress with a 4.45 40-yard dash. He will be a second-generation stud for whoever brings him in.
