i agree. part of that blueprint appears to be "guys that other teams gave up on".

the broncos actually moved up in the draft to get this guy. and elway was pretty high on him. but he was a longshot to make it. drafted in the sixth round.

from wikipedia:
Winfree first began his college career at the University of Maryland, where as a freshman, he finished the 2014 season with 158 receiving yards on 6 receptions. He was dismissed from the team due to an undisclosed code of conduct violation. He admitted to Coffeyville Community College for the 2015 season. After a year at Coffeyville, Winfree transferred to the University of Colorado. He did not play in 2016 due to a torn ACL he suffered from earlier off-season workouts. In 2017, he made his first NCAA appearance in three years, finishing the year with 325 receiving yards. During an injury-riddled 2018 season, he finished with 324 receiving yards.

for the broncos, he played in three games before being placed on injured reserve on december 14, 2019. he did not catch a pass for them. he was waived by the broncos on september 9, 2020.

Well that’s another thing he has in common with Packer WR’s.
A propensity to injury! FP(
