Georgia Southern
The Detroit Lions run a fundamental 4-2-5 nickel scheme with Cover 3 and Cover 4 principles, emphasizing strong run defense and versatile linebackers.
Williams projects as a Year 1 special teams core player and a backup strong-side linebacker, with the ceiling to develop into a two-down run-stopping SAM.
He would be a poor fit in a pure pass-rushing 3-4 outside linebacker role due to his limited bend and pass-rush repertoire.
His physical playstyle and run defense align well with the Lions' defensive identity, providing depth and immediate special teams impact.
