Look at the genuine excitement that is plastered on Winovich’s face! He seemed so happy to be taken by the Patriots and to have the chance to play with somebody like Tom Brady and play under the legendary Bill Belichick. In case you want some numbers thrown in there, here’s a few to consider.
His Total College Numbers Were SCARY Good

The bottom line is that this guy is talented, great against the run, and genuinely wants to do well as a New England Patriot. He should fit in no problem here. The Patriots are always looking to bolster their defense in any capacity and Winovich is a solid add from this year’s draft class. If you are anxious for Patriots football and to see what this guy can do, here’s some highlights from his college days.
In Conclusion
I can’t wait to see what Winovich does in a Patriots uniform!
