Pete Werner is a career quality starter — a linebacker whose body of work places Werner in the top quarter of all players at the position historically. The Knox model values sustained contribution over flash, and Werner's career arc reflects exactly that kind of reliable professional-grade performance.
A top 20% all-time linebacker who consistently made an impact across multiple seasons. Lower snap-level production reinforces the playmaking ability.
Worth 93 points of value above a freely-available replacement linebacker — top 28% of all 4,666 ranked at the position. 5 of 5 seasons cleared the replacement bar, by +18.6 on average.See board →
