It wasn&#8217;t, though. Then he imagined that his phone would ring with offers of contracts or invites to rookie minicamps. It didn&#8217;t, though.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, on Sunday night, around 24 hours after the draft ended, he shared a straightforward 75-second highlight video on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers eventually learned about the video, so they contacted Winstead and signed him as the 90th member on their roster by Wednesday.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank You GOD !!
