The Texans' defensive system emphasizes a versatile front, often employing a 3-4 base with elements of a one-gap attacking scheme, prioritizing quickness and penetration over pure power at the defensive end position.
Initially, Williams can be a sub-package pass rusher, working into a rotational role with the ceiling to develop into a starting 3-4 outside linebacker who can set the edge and impact the backfield.
A traditional 4-3 two-gap scheme would diminish his value significantly, as his lighter frame and lack of brute strength are not suited for holding the point of attack against double teams.
Williams' athleticism and burst make him an intriguing fit for a scheme that prioritizes speed and disruption off the edge, rather than relying on him to anchor against the run consistently.
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.
