Two seasons ago, Josh Uche and Chase Winovich led Michigan football in sacks.

Now, the two pass-rushers have been reunited in the NFL.

The New England Patriots traded up to take Uche in the second round with the No. 60 overall pick in the NFL draft on Friday night, one year after drafting Winovich in the third round.

In Uche, the Patriots are getting a player who rose throughout the pre-draft process because of his athleticism and pass-rushing ability.
