A true comeback story, Winburn overcame severe injuries as a child to become the first player to start as a freshman for Ron Poe's McKinney Lions football team. In fact, he often started on the defensive line, as well. Winburn also played collegiately at TCU, but injuries shortened his career. He returned to McKinney, where he raised a family. Winburn passed in 2015.
