per Chip:
Antoine Winfield sat on a beach in the Dominican Republic waiting for a friend’s wedding to begin. The scene was postcard perfect, yet Winfield kept staring at his phone.
His wife, Erniece, told him to put it away and enjoy paradise.
“I’ve got to watch this,” he replied.
He had a football game to dissect and a player to critique.
The wedding was Labor Day weekend, a few days after the Gophers opened their season with a victory against Oregon State.
Antoine Winfield Jr. made his college debut that night, which meant his dad, a former Pro Bowl cornerback and fan favorite as a Viking, kept his usual routine: He reviewed the game in painstaking detail to provide insight for his son.
“I’m teaching him everything that I know,” Winfield said.
Dad’s advice: Be yourself. Make your own name.
“Trust me,” Winfield said, “he’s going to be a hell of a baller for the University of Minnesota.”
