Listed as starting safety Winfield is listed as the starting strong safety on the first unofficial edition of the Buccaneers depth chart released Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact The rookie capped off what was by all accounts a stellar training camp by garnering a starting job to officially kick off his NFL career. Winfield was extremely diligent during camp in learning the responsibilities of both strong safety and slot corner in coordinator Todd Bowles' complex scheme, and the coaching staff is highly intrigued by the fact the 22-year-old was not only up to the task, but managed to consistently make plays against both the first- and second-team offenses in practices.

Impact Winfield has seemingly made his presence felt in every practice thus far, displaying an excellent knack for finding the ball and demonstrating solid tackling technique as well. The rookie, the namesake of the three-time Pro Bowler who actually recorded an interception off current Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, notes he's used to having to prepare for multiple roles within a defense, having played nickel corner and both safety positions throughout his four-year career at the University of Minnesota. Winfield's standout plays in Sunday's practice included a pass breakup in the end zone during red-zone period, and Carmen Vitali of the team's official site reports he followed it up with two big hits and an interception in Monday's session.

Impact A starter for most of his four years at the University of Minnesota and the son of a former three-time Pro Bowler, the younger Winfield arrives in Tampa with a rock-solid foundation for the pro game. The 2020 second-round pick has stood out by already demonstrating a solid grasp of defensive coordinator Todd Bowles' complex defense despite the lack of on-field OTAs this offseason, and Vitali separately reports Winfield has repeatedly shown a nose for the football, including on a strip and subsequent fumble recovery in the opening padded practice of camp Monday. Winfield appears to have a clear path to a starting strong safety job if he can continue impressing, considering journeyman Andrew Adams, appears to be his main competition.
