per Megan:
Gophers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi called Winfield “one of the best in the country.” But coach P.J. Fleck said he felt Winfield was a little too enthusiastic in the first game. Fleck pointed to when Winfield uncharacteristically jumped offside when coming in on a quarterback sack and ended up missing out on what could have been an 8-yard loss.
“He almost, at times, wanted to overperform,” Fleck said. “He wanted to do everyone else’s job at times because he’s that good. … But again, he hasn’t played football in a long time. Let’s never forget that.”
Winfield said he knows he needs to do a better job in many areas. But for a player who has appeared in only eight games over the past two seasons, settling that eagerness is tough.
“I was just excited to be out there, to be honest,” he said. “I just love it when I’m able just to play, and I’m healthy.”
