Charlie Woerner runs 40 yard dash at NFL Combine

Former Georgia football tight end Charlie Woerner clocks in for his official 40 yard dash time at the 2020 NFL Combine on Thursday.

Former UGA tight end Charlie Woerner ran his official NFL Combine 40-yard-dash this Thursday.

The 6’5″ 245lb Woerner ran an impressive time for a tight end of his size.

Woerner clocked in for an official second time of 4.78 seconds.

Woerner then moved to the “over the shoulder” drill and blocking sled, in which he performed very well, according to sources.

Other tight ends clocked between 4.66 and 4.96, placing Woerner right in the middle of the mix.  Woerner also had an impressive bench press performance at 21 reps, giving him a very solid day overall.

Georgia TE Charlie Woerner impressive at NFL Combine bench press

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Charlie Woerner finished tied for fourth among tight ends at the NFL Combine.

Georgia Bulldogs tight end Charlie Woerner didn’t put up monster numbers during his time in Athens. Woerner waited for his time and ended up starting as a senior.

Woerner, who never caught more than eleven passes in one season, is more of a blocking tight end. He was often an unsung hero in UGA’s elite rushing attack.

Woerner put up 21 repetitions on the bench press to finish tied for fourth among all tight ends. Not too shabby:

Woerner will find his way onto an NFL roster with his ability to block. NFL teams covet a third tight end who is more of a blocker. Woerner will be able to fill out that role in the NFL.

Arguably the best story about Woerner is he didn’t have a touchdown until his final career regular season game against Georgia Tech. Woerner deserved this one:
