Bill Belichick's flexible, multiple front 3-4 defense prioritizes versatility, high football IQ, and situational pass rush ability from its defensive ends.
Year 1 sub-package pass rusher on the edge; long-term, a versatile starter capable of setting the edge and generating pressure.
Pure two-gapping 3-4 defensive end where he is asked to consistently hold the point of attack against double teams.
Winovich's motor and athleticism make him a fit for schemes that value effort and disruption, though his size limits his upside in traditional interior run-stopping roles.
Selected #77 overall in Round 3 of the 2019 NFL Draft by New England Patriots out of Michigan.
