Pete Werner: An extensive breakdown.

TruSaint said
Give me a linebacker with 4.7 speed and fantastic instincts over a linebacker that runs a 4.5 but has no clue where to be. It’s split second reaction time that gets you in position. Werner has all the athleticism you need and then some to be successful. Combine that with his IQ and you have a good linebacker. If you want to compare to shanle go ahead, a much much more explosive and athletic shanle who can also cover? I’ll take that all day every day

you have a ton of linebackers like CJ mosely who aren’t fast but great

People put Shanle down, but he was a solid LB for us for many years. However, you're right that Werner is much more athletic. Werner's RAS is 9.49, while Shanle scored a 6.79. Werner's 6.9 in the 3 cone and 39.5 vertical are very impressive, and couple that with an above average 4.62, good instincts and a good tackler make him promising.
