Quick bio: While teammates Rashan Gary and Devin Bush generated most of the buzz, Winovich might have been Michigan’s most dependable defender.
He capped his career with the Wolverines by earning All-American honors, posting 69 tackles, including 17 for loss and 5.0 sacks. Anyone would be proud of those numbers, but they were actually a slight drop from 2017, when his 18 tackles for loss paced the Big Ten, along with 77 overall tackles and 8.0 sacks - more than either Gary or Oakland Raiders’ draft pick Maurice Hurst, Jr., who each had 5.5.
With long-flowing hair and kamikaze playing style, it is easy to see why scouts traveling through Ann Arbor have compared him to longtime NFL standout edge rusher Clay Matthews. Whether attacking out of the two- or three-point stance, Winovich has the look of a future difference-maker in the NFL, just as he was for the Wolverines.
Analysis: A master at guessing the snap count, Winovich is quick enough to cross the face of tackles and make plays off the edge and excels on counter-moves.
He is an effective bull rusher, showing impressive functional power and pad level to get underneath and drive back much larger opponents. His best attribute are his hands, which are spinning cinder blocks that help him quickly chop through the efforts of tackles to latch onto him.
Winovich compensates for his straight-line style with anticipation and vision, adjusting angles in pursuit with a high-revving, almost maniacal manner sure to win over coaches. Routinely chases plays from the backside, often 10-plus yards downfield. Physical wrap-up tackler who can separate the ball from the ballcarrier when he has a runway. Length and strength show up as a tackler. — First Level Media

 

Bio: A five-star recruit from Berea, Kentucky, Harris played 54 games at Alabama, bridging the gap from Derrick Henry to Josh Jacobs and Najee Harris (no relation).
After playing sparingly as a freshman, Damien Harris totaled 2,037 yards and 13 touchdowns on 281 carries (7.2-yard average) from 2016-17, and many pegged him as a first- or second-round pick in 2018.
Instead, he stayed in school and ceded some of his workload, finishing with 876 yards and nine touchdowns on 150 carries (5.8 average). He also had 22 catches for 204 yards.
Analysis: Coaches will love Harris because they know exactly what they’re getting: A high-character worker and disciplined runner who gets what’s blocked for him and can create a bit more on his own. Harris has the frame (5-foot-10, 216 pounds) and physicality to earn tough yards and enough elusiveness to get loose in space at times. He is a reliable blocker and an effective checkdown receiver and virtually never fumbles.
Harris’ ceiling is limited by his lack of explosiveness, as he isn’t fast or agile enough to create many big gains. After sharing carries at Alabama, he is far from worn down, but his style -- heavily reliant on broken tackles -- doesn’t project well for longevity. Less dynamic than some other recent Crimson Tide backs, Harris likely won’t be a featured starter, but he should slot in as a quality piece of a rotation. — First Level Media
