One of the most successful Cornerbacks in Ohio State history, Antoine Winfield was an All-American who won both the Jim Thorpe Award and Jack Tatum Trophy in 1998, which propelled him to a First Round Pick where he landed in nearby Buffalo.

The Bills used him as the third Corner as a rookie, but he was a starter thereafter and showcased his elite tackling and man-to-man coverage skills over the next four seasons.  Winfield started as a Bill, but it was in Minnesota purple that he became a star.  He signed with the Vikings in 2004, where he his versatility shone through.

Winfield was a Viking from 2004 to 2012, where he had 21 of his 27 Interceptions.  He also had a three-year run of Pro Bowls (2008-10), which included a Second-Team All-Pro in 2008. He had always been a physical player, but in the late 2000s, he finally got his due.

Winfield retired after the 2012 Season with 1,054 Tackles and an imprint on everyone he delivered them to.

The San Diego Chargers took Ohio State Buckeye Offensive Lineman, Jim Lachey, 12^th Overall in 1985, and he would be plugged in immediately as the Bolts’ starting Left Tackle. 

It is not a stretch by any means to state that Nick Mangold was the greatest New York Jet Center ever.  We could easily go a step further and state that he is one of the best Offensive Lineman in franchise history.
