American football is a game of attack and defense. Both teams try to defend and score points. Scoring points are mostly carried out by quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs. Likewise, defense is carried out by safety, defensive ends, and cornerbacks. In the 2024 season, Dak Prescott is one of the best offensive players. On the other hand, Baker Mayfield believes Antoine Winfield Jr is the best safety in the league.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield said:
“Antoine Winfield Jr is the best safety in the league. I do not doubt that.”
Here is why Baker Mayfield believes Antoine Winfield Jr is the best safety in the league.
The Buccaneer’s safety, Antonie Winfield, played 17 games in the 2024 season. In those games, he collectively tackled 122, which included 76 solo and 46 assisted tackles. Moreover, he has six sacks and six forced fumbles this season.
A total of 122 tackles by a safety is unimaginable, and he did it cozily. He stood like a wall in the Buccaneer’s defense and was one of the reasons they qualified for the wild card rounds. As a result, Mayfield believes Winfield is the best safety in the league.
