ProFootballTalk: Werner’s amazing story

DE Bjoern Werner is going to join elite company. Only 61 players, in the history of the NFL, have been born in Germany. Like most young kids in Europe Werner played soccer growing up, but he also wanted to give American football a try. At the age of 12 his coach saw that he had a real knack for the game and though he could make it in the United States. After playing for a Connecticut prep school, Werner was recruited by Florida State. There’s a very good chance a team will take Werner in the top ten of this year’s draft.
