Chase Winovich had a fantastic preseason for the New England Patriots. The rookie looks like he will fit in just fine in New England.

Winovich seemed to always be in the backfield and was making some great plays. The Patriots definitely made a smart pick in choosing Winovich.
Now I believe Winovich will find his way into the backfield and take down Big Ben, but it all depends on how much playing time he is given. The Patriots have a strong front seven. Winovich will be competing against guys like Deatrich Wise, Michael Bennett, and John Simon for playing time.
It’s rather difficult for a rookie to gain Bill Belichick’s trust right away, but Winovich might be able to do so.
But if he is given a chance I think we will see Winovich have a strong debut and the rookie will secure the first sack of his young NFL career.
