Watch: Antoine Winfield Jr scores on awesome punt return
There’s another Antoine Winfield doing big things in the Big Ten, only this one plays for Minnesota.
Antoine Winfield Jr., whose father was a Pro Bowl cornerback in the NFL after starring at Ohio State, returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown to put the Golden Gophers up 28-10 over New Mexico State on Thursday night.
He broke several tackles on his way to the end zone:

The redshirt sophomore was only a 3-star recruit coming out of high school, while Rivals had him as just a 2-star player. He’s proving how meaningless those ratings can be.
