Lloyd Leonard Winston (born September 22, 1939) is an American former professional football player who was a fullback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL) during the 1962 and 1963 seasons. He played college football for the USC Trojans.

Early years

[edit | edit source]

Winston attended Merced High School in Merced, California. As a running back at Merced, he was known as "hell on wheels" and a back who "defenders just bounced off."[1]

He played college football at Santa Monica City College and the University of Southern California.[2] In 1958, he rushed for 126 yards on 20 carries in a 30–12 upset victory over Oklahoma A&M, breaking the latter program's 19-game win streak.[3] His college career was cut short by a severe knee injury sustained during his junior year at USC.[4]

He signed with the San Diego Chargers in May 1964,[7] and then signed with the Oakland Raiders in July 1964.[8]
