Former LB Rosevelt Colvin weighs in on Patriots’ difficulties developing LBs

The New England Patriots have a surprising problem. Their last two second-round picks, Josh Uche and Chase Winovich, have not developed into every-down players. They haven’t even cracked the starting rotation. Uche is a situational pass-rusher and Winovich is regularly a healthy scratch, as noted by ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

Coach Bill Belichick is known for developing the best linebackers in the NFL. So why is that suddenly a problem for an organization that had built their defense around that linebacker group for years? Reiss checked in with Rosevelt Colvin, who shared some insight on how Belichick brought him into the scheme.
