As the 2020 NFL Combine gets underway in Indianapolis, Indiana prospects are answering questions from the media. The podium barrage of questions generally ranges from the player’s expectations heading into the Combine drills to thoughts on current NFL personnel on which they have a unique connection.
Georgia University’s Charlie Woerner enters this year’s Combine after four seasons as the school’s reliable tight end. Woerner is known primarily for his blocking ability at the position but will look to prove his ability as a receiver at the NFL scouting combine. He answered questions about a former teammate with the Bulldogs who has plenty of experience catching the ball. That player was Chiefs Pro Bowl receiver and Super Bowl LIV champion Mecole Hardman.
Woerner spoke to Chiefs Wire contributor Ed Easton Jr. during his podium session.
“I see he’s doing well, I’m really happy for him,” Woerner said. “I see that he had a great season with the Chiefs and ended up getting a ring, so I’m super happy for him. He lived right down the road from me about 45 minutes away in a small town just like me. Super happy for him kid from North Georgia going out there and doing that.”
Hardman earned his first Pro Bowl selection during his rookie season for his exceptional special teams performance as a returner. Woerner could make his own mark in the league on special teams as well with his ability to contribute without the ball in his hands.
