Winfree’s First Career Catch Highlights #NFLBuffs For Week Eight
November 03, 2021 | Football
BOULDER -- On Thursday night, Juwann Winfree showed that he has always been ready for his opportunity. After a hectic week in Green Bay with the Packers losing their top two targets to the COVID-19 list, Winfree was called up from the practice squad. He recorded his first career catch in the Packers electric 24-21 win over the undefeated Arizona Cardinals and finished with four catches on the night for 30 yards. Winfree was Aaron Rodgers second-most targeted player on the night apart from running back Aaron Jones.
Here is what happened with all other former CU Buffs across the NFL in week eight.
