Stats

2010:

2011:

Pros–Scheme versatility…good size/strength combo…good work ethic…a team leader…solid athlete…consistent…always around the ball…reliable…good array of moves, the best of which is a bull rush…hard to move off his spot…good motor…gets off the ball well enough…good tackler…quick off the ball

Cons–not an elite pass rusher, probably better suited to a 3-4 even though he plays in a 4-3 in college…needs a little to improve functional strength and leverage to consistently take on double teams at the NFL level…doesn’t put up gaudy numbers…small hands and not really long arms

 
NFLmocks preseason bio

Winn is not an extremely productive guy in terms of statistics, but he is a rock on the Boise State defensive line and a guy who is always around the ball. Had 28 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 8 tackles for loss last season as a junior. As a sophomore, he had 44 tackles, 6 sacks, and 12.5 tackles for loss on his way to being named 2nd team All WAC. Freshman All-American according to Phil Steele, and in my opinion, his game translates best as a power end in a 3-4 defensive alignment, where he could be very productive. Not an overly disruptive defensive tackle, but occupies blockers and has great strength. Has really held his own in one of the top defensive units in the country

Thoughts

Winn started the season like gangbusters against Georgia, which really opened up the draftnik community’s eyes to him. Winn is a solid defensive linemen prospect who could sneak his way into the back end of the first round despite not having elite measurables.
