The excuse was a good one, as Winstead patrolled center field for the Panthers' state runner-up baseball team, which finished its season at Victory Field on June 20.

His speed also worked well as a return man on punts. "I love it. I don't want to be off the field," Winstead said. "I would play every single play if I could.

"So it's nice to have that depth so I can take step back and know that Kevin (Reeves) at cornerback has my back and when I'm on offense, Mayson (Lewis) is at X and
