Björn Werner wird ein Florida State Seminole

Björn Werner

“Werner is an awesome, but raw specimen. He is very strong at the point of attack, using his long arms very well and has a quick burst into the backfield. He can be dominant at times up front and has the closing speed to catch up to just about anybody. Werner shows great athleticism for his size in coverage and often knocks down balls. He plays with a nasty streak and is a punishing hitter. With proper coaching, the sky is the limit.” – Matt Alkire (Scout.com)

“On potential, I would rank him as the #1 DL prospect in the entire east. On Film–This German exchange student has really picked up the game of football quickly. He is a physical looking kid who can come off the edge like no one's business. He can go from zero to full speed in just a few steps, shows amazing flexibility, body control, and balance. He does a good job of controlling the blocker and finding the ball, gets his hands quickly on blockers, and shows the ability to break up the play before it gets started. He has the potential to become the #1 draft choice in four to five years.” – Tom Lemming (MaxPreps.com)
