How 'Sneaky' Pete Werner got his name: New Saints LB was a 'swagged-out dude' for Buckeyes

Good stuff.

Hadn't heard a lot on Pete Werner post draft but looking at his tape, he seems to be a sure tackler (played safety in high school) & doesn't guess in coverage. 6'3 238 … that some serious length at LB.

Decent range, very good run stopper, solid in zone coverage & is tough. Not all that "show time, flashy" type player but seems to be a high IQ linebacker.

Can't wait to see him compete at camp.

Kuechley 2.0 with his smarts?

Looks like it might be a good article. I got through an additional few paragraphs before the subscription window shut me down.

Luke K aka Captain America ? The All Pro? Former 1st rounder... Naw, I'm not going that far.

As a 2nd round prospect, I'm hoping for a quality starter at LB. Saints draft history @ linebackers hasn't been the best over the last couple of decades.

Nahhhh. Luke jumped off the screen with his college tape. Werner looks cool though. I’m optimistic.

Aside from Ian Book I hadn't heard much about ANY player the Saints drafted this year! And that gives me a good feeling because frankly, I don't know jack.

Right there with you. We seem to do better with players I have never heard of. But that ain't saying much. I couldn't name a single player on LSU's roster.

I know Jack. I'll introduce you. He's a cool guy with swag.
