As an adolescent, Winslow II went to Patrick Henry High School before transferring to Scripps Ranch High School as a junior.

Collegiate Career

For college, Winslow went to the University of Miami, where he played on the Hurricanes football team from 2001 to 2003. As a freshman, he backed up tight end Jeremy Shockey and played on various special teams. Moreover, he was among four true freshmen to play during Miami’s run to the BCS National Championship. In his sophomore year, Winslow became the starter at tight end after Shockey declared for the NFL Draft. He went on to have his breakthrough season, setting new school records for a tight end with 57 receptions for 726 yards and eight touchdowns. In the 2003 Fiesta Bowl, Winslow caught 11 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown.

As a junior, Winslow won the John Mackey Award as the best collegiate tight end in the country; he also earned first-team All-American honors. Following his successful season, he chose to forgo his senior year at Miami to declare for the NFL Draft.

Cleveland Browns

In the 2004 NFL Draft, Winslow was chosen as the sixth selection in the first round by the Cleveland Browns. Notably, this made him the highest-selected tight end in over 30 years. Unfortunately, despite his great promise, Winslow was sidelined after the first two games of his rookie season due to a broken fibula. He eventually made a full recovery after undergoing two operations. However, Winslow suffered another debilitating leg injury in 2005 when he got into a motorcycle accident that prevented him from playing that season.

Winslow returned to the Browns in 2006 finally in good shape. In the opening game of the season, he scored his first NFL touchdown. Winslow concluded the year with an impressive 89 receptions, the most at tight end for the season. He continued his success in 2007 with 82 receptions for 1,106 yards and five touchdowns. Additionally, Winslow earned his first Pro Bowl selection. His career with the Browns ultimately ended in 2008 after he was hospitalized for a staph infection.

In 2011, he again led the Bucs in receptions, recording 75 for 763 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Seahawks, Patriots, and Jets

Later in the year, Winslow signed with the New England Patriots; after playing one game with the team, he requested to be released. In June of 2013, he signed a one-year contract with the New York Jets. During the season, he was suspended for four games for violating the NFL’s drug policy.

Winslow had many run-ins with the law following his NFL career. In 2018, he was arrested in Encinitas, California and charged with felony first degree burglary for robbing a mobile home.

In early 2019, Winslow’s bail was revoked, and he was jailed on new counts of misdemeanor battery. Additionally, he was convicted of rape. Winslow ultimately pleaded guilty to the rape of an unconscious teenager and sexual battery of a 54-year-old hitchhiker. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison beginning in March of 2021.
