Scouting Report: Strengths
- Fights for extra yardage and is reliable in short-yardage situations.
- It might take him a year to get out of the habit of bouncing everything outside, but the skill set is there for him to be a workhorse and the centerpiece of a run-based offense.
- Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
- Williams often thrived in the screen game, transitioning upfield quickly and showing a knack for following his blocks. Williams has the size and strength to pass protect.
- He’s solid in blitz pickup, and Williams consistently showed the ability to anchor against bigger players.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- His speed is decent, but he’s not a home run hitter at the next level.
- He’ll be coming to the NFL from a wide-open spread offense in which Williams ran a limited route tree.
- His hands are good, but he doesn’t show much feel as a route runner and might not be a guy you flex out wide.
