02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Tim Williams is a classic fit for a 3-4 defense, excelling as an edge-rushing outside linebacker who can leverage his explosiveness.

3-4 OLBEdge rusherStand-up DE
Best role

Year 1 sub-package pass rusher, working to develop into a full-time starting SAM or WILL linebacker with double-digit sack potential.

Wrong fit

Any system that asks him to regularly play inside linebacker or take on two gaps.

Williams's explosive first step and bend make him a dangerous pass rusher, but inconsistencies against the run limit his every-down utility.

04The evaluation

Selected #78 overall in Round 3 of the 2017 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of Alabama.
