Winston Frederick Justice (born September 14, 1984) is an American football offensive tackle who is currently a free agent. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (39th overall pick) of the 2006 NFL Draft. He played college football at USC.
Justice attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School in Long Beach, California.
Justice played college football at the University of Southern California. He was regarded as one of the best tackles to come out of USC. Justice blocked for two Heisman Trophy winners and 1 former (quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart, and running back Reggie Bush).
Justice was selected in the second round with the 39th overall pick by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2006 NFL Draft. However, the Eagles did consider using their first round draft pick on him. Many considered him a first round pick because of his athleticism and other abilities, but his character concerns scared teams away from him.
His first NFL start came against the New York Giants on September 30, 2007. In the Eagles' 16-3 loss, Justice allowed six sacks. Justice was outmatched by defensive end Osi Umenyiora of the Giants in his first appearance in the NFL. In May 2008, former Eagles star Hugh Douglas had commented on Justice by saying, "if they don't bite when they're a puppy they won't bite when they're a grown dog. To me he's not even a football player."
