Friday night, Winovich received a call from the New England Patriots, who were planning on taking the Michigan defensvie end with the No. 77 overall pick in the third round. One of the B1G’s top defenisve lineman from last season was about to join the Super Bowl champions.
Winovich’s family and friends had trouble staying quiet while he was on the phone, and as soon as he hung up, the room erupted with excitement. Even Winovich couldn’t help but bounce around a little bit after the call:
WELL, THIS IS AWESOME.

Another tremendous moment from the NFL Draft this year.
Winovich was one of the B1G’s top defensive lineman each of the last two seasons. He was an anchor on a defense that was regarded as one of the best in the country. Now, he’s headed to New England to join a world championship organization.
That’s definitely something worth celebrating.
