Pete Werner is next on our list of Ohio State football players entered in the 2021 NFL draft to scout. Werner played multiple positions for the Buckeyes, and while he may not get the recognition of Baron Browning, he is a solid linebacker prospect with eventual three-down value.
At the next level, Werner would thrive as a SAM linebacker in a 3-4 system, but he provides flexibility to play the WILL in a 4-3 system. What Werner does well is shoot gaps and get to the ball. He is not necessarily a big sideline-to-sideline linebacker, but wouldn’t be a liability if asked to do so given his underrated speed.
