High-motor, NFL-caliber edge rusher who became FSU’s 2012 Defensive Player of the Year
Bjoern Werner was a disruptive Florida State defensive end whose 2012 breakout featured unanimous All-American recognition and ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors, driven by his relentless motor, strong edge-setting, and consistent backfield production. He finished his FSU career with 23.5 sacks and 35 tackles for loss, showing the kind of playmaking fit that matters for teams needing a physical, effort-first pass rusher rather than a pure speed specialist. His profile stands out for intensity, discipline, and week-to-week impact, making him the kind of defender coaches trust in big-game moments.
