INDIANAPOLIS – When Bjoern Werner takes the field each week, he knows the eyes watching him extend multiple time zones.
Werner wears a Colts jersey, but he might as well have the German national flag embroidered on him.
The Colts first-round pick from 2013 never turns his head at trying to grow the game overseas, knowing that without his own opportunities growing up, this one he currently has would not have been available.
Currently, there are five Germans on NFL rosters, with Werner being the lone first-round pick of the bunch.
Last week, Jenny Vrentas of Monday Morning Quarterback spoke with Werner on how he views his impact back in Germany.
