Winston Justice, how far you have come

Winston Justice, how far you have come thumbnail

Entering the 2008 season, Eagles fans got shivers whenever the name Winston Justice came up. Thoughts of his 2007 performance against the Giants where he allowed Osi Umenyiora to get to Donovan McNabb seven times were imposible to forget. Although some of the blame had to go to Andy Reid for putting the second-year player making his first career spot in that position in the first place, Justice was immediately labeled a bust.

Today he is labeled a multi-millionaire.

ESPN’s Adam Sheftler is reporting that the Eagles have inked Justice to a four-year deal worth $18 million, including a $6 million signing bonus.

Two years later Justice has turned into a quality lineman, playing a variety of positions before settling in as the Eagles starting right tackle. Justice was set to become a free agent at season’s end, so the move helps solidify an offensive line that saw an overhaul this year when veteran tackles Jon Runyan and Tra Thomas were not resigned and Jason Peters and Stacey Andrew were brought in.

Andrews has been a major disappointment, while Peters has performed well, but has had problems staying on the field.

Then there is Justice who proves his doubters wrong game-after-game.

If you are in need of a feel-good story, look no further than Justice. No one will be labeling him a bust anymore.
