Last season, Antoine Winfield Jr. was overworked and underutilized as the Bucs’ defensive linchpin, forced into a centerfield role to cover for a struggling pass defense. With key injuries and limited support, Winfield’s sack total plummeted to a career-low, and his crucial late-game rotations cost the team critical stops — like the Falcons’ game-winning field goal.

With a stronger supporting cast, Winfield can finally play to his versatile strengths, making plays across the field without being the last resort.
