Tampa Bay Buccaneers Antoine Winfield Jr. accumulated 94 tackles to go down with three sacks, six defended passes, two forced fumbles, one interception and one fumble during his great rookie season.
For the Buccaneers, who finished with an 11-5 record in the regular season, it ended with a Super Bowl LV championship. And to commemorate the dominating 9/31 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, Winfield Jr. put a giant Lombardi Trophy tattoo on his forearm.

Winfield posted the photo of his tattoo on his Instagram Story on Monday. The tattoo stretched from his elbow to his wrist. The top of the trophy was near his limb, while the bottom “LV” went to his wrist. The tattoo featured the Buccaneers logo and two praying hands.
The tattoo sparked a reaction from quarterback Tom Brady, who commented on the photo of Winfield Jr.’s tattoo.

“Make sure to leave some room @antoinewinfieldjr,” said Brady, referring to the Buccaneers on the hunt for a new Super Bowl title in 2021.
Winfield Jr. played through injury in Super Bowl LV, but at the end of the game, the rookie sensation had the last laugh with Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Winfield Jr. was fined over $ 7,800 for lashing out Hill with his signature “peace sign”.

Winfield Jr. broke a pass on a fourth-down play during the game, and he threw the “deuces” symbol that Hill typically flashes as he rushes past defenders and into the endzone for a touchdown.
Winfield told reporters that he “had to” return Hill some sort of taunt.
“It’s something I had to do,” he said via the New York Post. “When we played before, he turned back in front of my face and gave me the peace sign. So it was right that I gave him back the peace sign. It felt great doing that. I’m not even going to lie.”
