Scouting Report
By now, you know what defensive coordinator Joe Rossi is looking for in a linebacker, and Williams checks all of the boxes. His athleticism is off the charts, with the versatility to rush the edge or drop into coverage. Williams has the instincts to be able to play fast and is physical enough to lower the boom on ball carriers without having to slow down before contact. He figures to be at least a standout special teams contributor, at the very least, early in his career but won’t take long before he starts making plays at linebacker.
