Analyzing Pete Werner's Potential and Could He Be Next In Line as the Next Great Saints LB

Seems like most folks think Werner’s ceiling is no higher than a solid starter, and I think that’s a garbage take.

The only thing that has held Werner back has been injuries.

When healthy, Pete Werner is a tackling machine that ranks among the league leaders. He’s smart and athletic, and an extremely hard worker by all accounts.

I think he absolutely has a chance to take over as the Alpha LB on this team when DD slows down… He may never be DD, but Davis is the best all-around LB the Saints have ever had IMHO.
