Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow talks NFL draft, CTE, and 'catch rule' | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

When Pro Football Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow was drafted with the 13th selection by the San Diego Chargers in the 1979 NFL draft, he set an early mold for tight ends of today.

The athletic-6-foot-5 Winslow, who only played football in his senior year of high school, went on to Missouri before a nine-year career with the Chargers.

He was a five-time Pro-Bowl selection, four-time All-Pro and recorded more than 6,700 receiver yards and 45 touchdowns in 109 games.

Winslow was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995 and later became a member of the San Diego Chargers Hall of Fame, NFL's 75th anniversary all-time team and NFL's 1980s All-Decade team.
