Antoine Winfield presents an interesting matchup challenge for the Packers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has great talent at every level, but safety Antoine Winfield Jr. presents one of the Packers’ most interesting matchup challenges this week.

A Pro Bowler last season, the third-year defensive back is a versatile piece in Tampa’s secondary, adding value against the run as well as the pass and even performing some spot duty as a pass rusher.

Winfield is small for a safety (5-foot-9, 203 pounds at the 2020 NFL Combine) and that size probably kept him off the Packers’ draft board that year, but he’s a good all-around athlete.
