Winston, a native of Baton Rouge and graduate of Istrouma High School, earned unanimous All-America honors in 1961 after leading the Tigers to a 10-1 record and the Southeastern Conference title. A three-year letterwinner on the gridiron, Winston led the Tigers to appearances in the 1960 Sugar Bowl and the 1962 Orange Bowl.

A team captain as a senior in 1961, he earned numerous honors as a standout on both sides of the ball for the Tigers. He was cited as the SEC’s Outstanding Lineman by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and was named the Most Outstanding Player in the SEC by the Atlanta Touchdown Club. Winston earned first team All-SEC honors that year as well.

Winston also appeared in three college football all-star games, including the Hula Bowl in Honolulu.

Winston also played left field for LSU’s SEC Champion baseball team in 1961. He graduated from LSU with a bachelor’s degree in education.

Following his LSU career, Winston was selected in the fourth round by the Minnesota Vikings and he played his entire 15-year career (1962-76) with the organization, appearing in four Super Bowls.

He is one of only 11 Vikings to have played on all four Super Bowl teams for the organization.

Winston was inducted into the LSU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1976, inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 1991, and named to the LSU Centennial Team in 1993. In 2000, he was named a “Legend of the SEC.” He was named to the Vikings Silver Anniversary and 40th Anniversary teams. In 2010, he was named one of the “Fifty Greatest Vikings.”
