Scouting Report: Strengths
- Williams has ideal length as an edge rusher, with room to add more weight onto his frame.
- He’s very good with his hands, a technician with the violence, quickness, and the long arms to ward off blockers. He has a great motor and enough creativity to make plays late in the down as a pass rusher.
- Has the initial quickness to turn the corner but isn't an elite quick-twitch athlete. Consistently high motor and good long speed to close.
- He has the classic frame and long arms with some explosion, power and ability to close.
- He possesses an intriguing blend of size and movement skills. He has good length, wide shoulders, and long arms, and Williams has room to add weight.
- Williams chases well in pursuit, and he has the athleticism to play in space if asked to drop into coverage.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Plays too high when trying to set the edge. His motor is inconsistent.
- Raw as sushi and gets by on natural ability with no technique refinement.
- Is still a bit raw as a pass rusher and needs to diversify his repertoire of pass-rush moves.
