A defense heavy on two-high safety looks, utilizing either Quarters or Cover 2 principles, with responsibilities for both deep half coverage and supporting the run.
Year 1: Versatile backup safety and special teams ace with situational deep coverage duties. Ceiling: Starting free safety in a two-high system, able to disrupt passing lanes and provide reliable run support.
Single-high safety schemes that demand a bigger, stronger hitter in the box, as his lighter frame could be a liability against power run schemes.
Williams' coverage skills and speed make him an ideal fit for a two-high safety system, where he can leverage his athleticism to cover ground and make plays on the ball.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
