Chase Winovich Chirps Julian Edelman Over Instagram With Tom Brady

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady enjoys all the attention he gets on social media. This time he got into a thing with Chase Winovich and Julian Edelman.

The rookie reached out to the quarterback for some advice. Winovich shared a photo of him and Brady.

Edelman posted a photo of him and Brady, and he wanted to remind everyone of the countdown to the start of the 2019 season. Winovich couldn’t keep calm, and teased Edelman. We believe that Edelman will send it back to the rookie.

Winovich signed his rookie contract with the team in June.

“Complete wackjob,’ Michigan defensive coordinator Don Brown said when describing Winovich. “When he plays, he gets in the zone and he plays the game like a crazed dog, that’s for sure. He’s a little flamboyant off the field, not to the point where it’s distasteful or arrogant. He just has fun playing the game. After every tackle for a loss or sack I’d say, ‘Let’s see what he’s going to do now when he gets up?’ He’s going to be missed, that’s for sure.

“People are going to love the way this guy plays the game. I can see him being a four-team special teams guys. He’ll be a terror now. You won’t worry about mark, set go, he’s gonna go! He plays relentless with a great motor. He’s a never-give-up guy. They’re certainly going to fall in love with his work ethic.”

During his time with the Wolverines, Winovich totaled 59 tackles, 15.5 for a loss and five sacks. In his collegiate career, he totaled 166 tackles, 43 tackles for a loss and 18.5 sacks.

“Here’s the thing, from the day I started coaching him it was evident that he’s relentless. He plays the game the right way. Runs to the football like no other guy we had,” Brown added. “Excellent pass rusher. He wasn’t an overnight success. We had Taco in front of him. We were using Chase in package stuff, he was more of a stand-up ‘cheetah.’ He just played his tail off in that role. We were giving him time at defensive end to spell Taco, so in ‘17 was kind of his coming out party. The numbers were exciting. He really had an excellent year. It’s all triggered off his motor. The guy plays the game the right way. Last year he became a tactician. Uses his hands. Last year was his biggest improvements in the run game.

“We never asked him to drop in coverage. I think he’s going to be asked to do that. He worked his tail off in that. When I saw him in our pro day, he exceeded my expectations of what he could do in that area. The guy is going to rush the passer, now. He’s going to rush the passer. You can always work on using your hands better. You take your toolbox and you try to fill it up. His pass rush will be better. There is still room there to get bigger, stronger, faster. Putting the weight on wasn’t easy, but he kept it on. There is still room there, though, to grow.”
