Alonzo Winfield still is unsurehow to answer the question: What position do you play?
Just saying “spur” will lead to more questions. But he cannot really say safety or linebacker. Hence, the confused looks from people on campus.
“I say both (safety and linebacker),” Winfield said, laughing. “And then I’ll just be like, it’s just the nickel defense. And they’re like, ‘Oh OK.’ But a lot of them still don’t know. But it’s all right.”
And how often does he have to explain that?
“Just about every time,” Winfield said.
The stares are worth it, since playing the spur is Winfield’s best chance to be on the field.
