Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield has been selected to the USA Football/NFL Players Association all-fundamentals team. USA Football is the sport's national governing body.
Twenty-six NFL players -- 11 on offenes, 11 on defense, four on special teams -- are selected to the team based on an "ability to consistently execute the fundamentals of their positions and for making a positive impact in their communities."
Winfield is an all-fundamentals selection for his ability to cover receivers man-to-man.
The press release on Winfield earning the honor reads: "He starts from a proper defensive back stance, keeps the receiver from running his route and maintains good position as the receiver tries to run downfield. Winfield visited Hennepin County Medical Center emergency room personnel to help recognize their work. He also volunteered in the Vikings' blood drive at Mall of America, donated cars to single mothers through the Minneapolis Urban League Employment and Training Program and recently hosted the Bolder Bowl with several of his teammates benefiting Bolder Options."
Winfield was honored one day after Vikings safety Madieu Williams was named the team's 2010 community man of the year.
