Chase Winovich Would Like A Chance To Play Some Tight End

Kings of Boston Sports



The Patriots have never shied away from using players in multiple positions on both offense and defense. Belichick has always loved versatile players like Mike Vrabel and Troy Brown. Julian Edelman was even used as a safety earlier in his career. Second year defensive lineman Chase Winovich would love a chance to play some tight end.

Winovich played some tight end during his time at Michigan when current Patriots quarterbacks coach Jedd Fisch was at the school.

“I wasn’t recruited as a tight end, but coach Jim Harbaugh came in, we had some injuries at tight end, he said, ‘I like your speed,'” Winovich said. “He named some guys in the league that he had played. So I actually played tight end. I played some running back. This is actually when coach Fisch was there. So, small world.”

Winovich would like to convince Fisch to give him another shot at it.

“To be honest, that would be awesome,” he said. “Yeah, and I always mess with him about it, particularly even running back or any position I’m always messing with him. Really, I’m more focused on just making sure I’m assignment sound. Until I can be absolutely perfect and in everything I do, there’s more work to be done and more focus there to be had than trying to branch out.

“But you know, I’ve got my fingers crossed, just working on catching and stuff. I maybe you have some free time. But you never know. But I don’t see that happening right now.”

Winovich could be in for a breakout season this year. Through three games, he has totaled 10 tackles, 1.5 sacks
