Wellner impresses on tape as a middle linebacker at 5’10” 195 pounds.  Physical thumper up front that fills the hole and explodes through the back to make the tackle. Can rush off the edge and blitz up the middle putting pressure on QB.  Attacks downhill with force. Takes good angles and lays the hammer!
