Michigan Football: 3 things we learned from Wolverines pro day

Winovich shows versatility

While Bush and Chase Winovich also decided to not do the timed workouts again after both had solid showings at the combine, each took part in position drills Friday and in particular, Winovich turned heads by running through drills with linebackers and defensive lineman.

Winovich is sort of a tweener when it comes to NFL standards because he is likely too small to be a full-time 4-3 defensive end. He can rush the passer off the edge in a 4-3 defense or a 3-4 defense, however, some teams want to see what he can do standing up in order to see if he could handle being a 3-4 outside linebacker.

To me, that is the best position for Winovich at the next level. He was an outstanding run defender for the Wolverines and did a great job setting the edge.

As an outside linebacker, he can play with natural leverage on the outside and while he might need some work rushing from a stand-up position, he is a strong enough athlete he should be able to do it with ease.

Yet, displaying that versatility for scouts was still a good idea and it should help Winovich get picked at some point in the first 50 selections.
