Excels in second season Winfield, who totaled a team-leading eight tackles (six solo) and a sack in the Buccaneers' 41-17 win over the Panthers in Week 18, finished the 2021 regular season with 88 tackles... Impact Winfield fell just six tackles and one sack short of his rookie-season totals, which were accomplished over 16 games. The standout safety was once again a key component of the Buccaneers' elite run defense, but he was even better in pass coverage than 2020, allowing just a 55.6 percent completion rate and 5.0 yards per attempt on the 27 passes he faced as a primary defender. Winfield should continue serving as an essential component of the defense during the Buccaneers' upcoming postseason after posting 18 stops, a forced fumble and an interception during last year's championship run.
