| Biography: |
On March 5, 2004, the Vikings felt like they signed their best free agent to that point. They made a point to say that they weren’t just interested in signing any cornerback, they were passionately interested in signing Antoine Winfield. When he agreed to a six-contract, the Vikings felt an organization-wide sense of pride and joy.
Winfield responded with an excellent year of covering wide receivers and showing why he is considered one of the best tackling cornerbacks.
2004: Led the Vikings with three interceptions, ranked fourth on the team with 96 tackles despite missing two games and two more starts while battling an ankle injury. Was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week following the opening weekend of playoff games. Had 22 tackles, one interception, one sack, two tackles for losses and a forced fumble in two playoff games.
