Williams has the youth and range to keep growing into an impact role, but he has to make every rep count in a leaner linebacker rotation. Health and clean reads unlock the upside.

Strengths: Range, youth, athleticism, special-teams potential and developmental upside.

Weaknesses: Recent injury management and a limited number of base-role snaps in the new scheme.

Williams has become a credible starter option, not just a depth athlete. The 117-tackle, 11-start 2024 season showed how much range and tackling volume he can provide, and he still found 63 tackles in an injury-affected 2025. He has the speed to chase wide plays and the effort to be around loose balls. A seven feels right: there is real starter-level value, but he needs more coverage splash plays and a fully healthy season.

Strengths: He runs well, tackles in space and has already demonstrated he can handle a meaningful starting workload. Williams brings range, effort and the ability to flow through traffic without getting stuck on every block.

Weaknesses: He has not generated many turnovers or sacks, and injuries have interrupted momentum. His block shedding and coverage recognition need to sharpen if he is to become a true every-down centerpiece.
