During his freshman year, he recorded 158 receiving yards on 6 receptions with 2 touchdowns. Following a code of conduct violation, Winfree transferred to Coffeyville Community College for the 2015 season. After one year, he moved to the University of Colorado, though a torn ACL sustained in offseason workouts prevented him from playing in 2016. He returned to the field in 2017, achieving 325 receiving yards, and despite an injury-affected 2018 season, he secured 324 receiving yards.
Winfree’s professional career commenced when he was selected by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round (187th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft. He played in three games for the Broncos before being placed on injured reserve in December 2019. In 2020, he was waived by the Broncos and subsequently signed to the practice squad of the Green Bay Packers in October of the same year. He was elevated to the active roster for two games in the 2020 season. In 2021, after signing a reserves/futures contract with the Packers, he made his first NFL regular-season catch—a 12-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers—and finished a game with four catches for 30 yards. He remained with the Packers through the 2022 season, rotating between the practice squad and active roster.
In May 2023, Winfree signed with the Indianapolis Colts, where he played in 8 games during the season, starting once. He was released and re-signed to their practice squad multiple times. In January 2024, he was promoted to the Colts’ active roster before being placed on injured reserve in August 2024. Most recently, in August 2025, Winfree signed with the Houston Texans. Outside of football, Winfree is involved in community initiatives; in 2019, he received a Key to the City of Englewood, New Jersey, where his father announced the formation of the Team Winfree Youth Foundation, supporting youth sports and leadership in the area.
