Chase Winovich, DE
While the addition of Michael Bennett will take away some of the sting of losing 2018 sack leader Trey Flowers, drafting an energy player like Chase Winovich will cause New England Patriots fans to get over that loss rather quickly.
Already considered a steal in the 2019 NFL draft, the third-round pick didn’t disappoint in the preseason. Not only did he display the high motor that made him an intriguing draft pick, he showed an ability to pass the rusher that will win him over with fans.
Above his play on the field, Chase Winovich has the personality that will make him a fan favorite as well. With a “Do Your Job” mentality, it would be no surprise if the Michigan product doesn’t end up starting at some point.
Called “Rambo” by NFL.com’s Chris Wesseling, the rest of the league will get to know Chase Winovich rather quickly and wonder how he slipped to the third round to the New England Patriots of all teams.
Overall, the team’s most intriguing player entering the 2019 NFL season will just get more intriguing as the season and his career goes along.
