You can't go wrong with either choice, but Winslow did somewhat redefine what it is what meant to play tight end thus setting up the blue print for future generations to follow making him our choice for to represent the Show-Me State. Winsolw played his collegiate ball for his home state University of Missouri Tigers where he racked up a total of 71 receptions for 1,089, and 10 touchdowns.
Winslow would go on to declare himself into the 1979 NFL Draft where he was picked 13th overall by the San Diego Chargers were he would remain his entire nine-season career (1979-1987). At 6'5, 250lbs, Winslow was too big to be effectively covered by cornerbacks and DBs and too fast to for linebackers to keep up with, leaving defenses to sacrifice entire defensive schemes just to bring him down. The 5x Pro Bowl selectee led the NFL two times in NFL receptions (1980, 1981) and notched a total of 45 touchdowns. Winslow could have had an extended career if he was not forced to retire in 1987 after a severe knee injury effected his play.
