Bound for Big Easy The Saints selected Werner in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 60th overall.
Impact The Saints added more firepower to their defense with the Werner selection, snagging a potential three-down linebacker after selecting end Payton Turner in the first round. Werner (6-foot-3, 238 pounds) was the leading tackler on a strong Ohio State run defense, though it's a slight concern that not many of his stops occurred behind the line of scrimmage. Werner's athletic testing was quite encouraging otherwise, as his 4.62-second 40, 39.5-inch vertical and 122-inch broad jump were all strong.
