As the New England Patriots continue to remodel their linebacker group, Chase Winovich is making an impact.
They say numbers never lie, and in his case, Winovich, he is in some elite company when it comes to his statistics. He ranks second among all as defenders in runs stop win rate, and is six in pass rush win rate.
The Michigan product is just one of four players to rank in the top 10 in both categories. The others? Khalil Mack, Brandon Graham, and Joey Bosa. Mack is the leader among the quartet as he ranks first in run stop win rate, and fifth in pass rush win rate.
According to ESPN Analytics, Chase Winovich ranks second among edge rushers in run stop win rate this season (behind Khalil Mack). He's also sixth in pass rush win rate.

Although Winovich does not have the same pedigree as the other three, it’s certainly good company for him to be in. As the New England Patriots continue to get younger at linebacker, he could be a focal point of the defense for years to come.
