It 's good to hear prom a pro lineman like Bjorn Werner.
Kentucky coaches hope that both Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith are future NFL defensive ends. That’s why having Indianapolis Colts defensive end Bjoern Werner, who played for coach Mark Stoops and defensive coordinator E.J. Eliot at Florida State, in Lexington for a few days during spring practice has been a bonus.
“We love Bjoern. He’s just a great friend of ours. So we look him up whenever we’re in Indianapolis . We got say hi to him, have dinner with him. And he came in to see us and say hello and just be around,” said Stoops. “It means a lot to us. We build strong relationships with these guys and appreciate them coming by and saying hi and then just saying a few words, talking to the team, talking to some of the defensive guys and giving them some words of wisdom. It always helps.”
It should especially help Dupree and Smith to hear what Stoops can do for them.
“It’s really good. And it was nice to have Bjoern and just ask him questions. He watched film with us as a defensive staff and just some of the pointers that they talked with him about. And yeah, he liked the way Bud was coming off the ball the other day,” Stoops said.
Eliot calls Werner a “special person” who can influence young players.
“Bjoern is a special person in the fact that his commitment and his work ethic to not only football but everything he does in his life is tremendous,” Eliot said. “I think that not only his example, but the message that he can deliver is outstanding and it’s something that young men can really follow.”
