OVERALL TRAITS
Size-Strength-Speed
Possesses very good height with solid bulk and a lengthy frame that can support additional good mass with time in a college weight program. Displays average strength and initial quickness for size and average to slightly below average top-end speed for size.
Versus the Run
Flashes the ability to fire out low and be able to hold his ground, but needs to watch pad level as he can quickly rise up. Flashes ability to bring his hands and get off blocks, but needs to improve hand usage and upper body strength to extend and when he gets tall and isn%u2019t active with his hands he can give ground.
Pass Rush Skills
Flashes some upside and can try to take a tight path, but lacks the initial burst and ability to bend to win with a speed rush. Needs to develop the use of his weapons and doesn't display the lateral mobility to set up double moves and quickly redirect.
Toughness/Motor
Has good size, but needs to continue to fill out, improve strength and better learn to maximize his tools. Will trail the play at times and can improve angles in pursuit. A drag down arm tackler.
Bottom Line
Williams flashes some good raw tools and possesses some physical upside, but needs to keep developing as a player and physically to get more from his abilities. Could develop as a blocking TE. We don't see an immediate contributor on defense and we feel will need at least a red-shirt.
