Former Chargers tight end Kellen Winslow has been named to the NFL 100 All-Time Team.
Winslow joins linebacker Junior Seau on the 100-player roster, which is being revealed position by position as the series within the celebration of the league’s 100th season.
Regarded as the one that revolutionized the position, Winslow set the record for most receiving yards in a single season by a tight end with 1,290 yards in 1980. In the same year, Winslow led the NFL in receptions with 89.
Winslow’s performance against the Miami Dolphins in the 1981 playoffs is his most memorable moment in his career.
Winslow finished the game with an NFL playoff-record 13 receptions for 166 yards. But it’s his blocked field goal at the end of regulation to force the game into overtime that may have been his biggest play of the game.
After nine seasons in the league, Winslow retired in 1987 due to multiple knee injuries that hampered him throughout his stint with the Chargers.
He finished his career with 541 receptions, 6,741 yards, 45 touchdowns, five Pro Bowl selections, along with being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1995.
