Linebacker Dee Winters was a major part of TCU’s path to the 2023 college football national championship game and should be able to fight for a spot on the San Francisco 49ers’ roster next season. The rangy linebacker has a great football IQ and can make opposing ball carriers pay when they enter his area on the field.
Though he’ll need time to adjust to the professional game as a sixth-round selection, Winters brings an exceptional highlight reel with him to the league after an outstanding career as a collegian. Check out his best plays below to get acquainted with his skillset ahead of the 2023 season:

Feels like the 49ers always draft physical and explosive linebackers who fall because they’re undersized. That perfectly describes Dee Winters. Gets downhill in a hurry and creates havoc in the backfield. So aggressive: pic.twitter.com/OFZSIcgkEm
