A haircut might be in Chase Winovich’s future after getting drafted by the Patriots

The New England Patriots used the 77th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on former Michigan defensive end Chase Winovich, because the physical edge defender knows how to get into the backfield.

But he also has some pretty great, hair, too.

Which didn’t go unnoticed by Nick Caserio, the director of player personnel for the New England Patriots, who had some fun with the hair while speaking to reporters shortly after making the third-round pick.

Caserio and the Patriots, who picked a WR in the first round for the first time under Bill Belichick, are looking forward to getting to work with Winovich.

Thought he might be getting a haircut, unfortunately:

Nick Caserio on Michigan's Chase Winovich:

"He's a pretty instinctive guy, good with his hands, pretty good technique and he's been productive over the course of a couple years now. And he's got long hair, which I'm sure everybody will enjoy – until we tell him to cut it."

And he’s not wrong about that hair, because look:

"Massachusetts."
"That's the Patriots."

Shame he’s gonna have to lose some of that.
