Height Weight and Speed

Like DE/OLB Jadeveon Clowney in 2014, DE/DT Williams is a freak of nature with all that height, weight and speed. At 6’6″, 300 pounds, Williams has been clocked as low as 4.76 in the 30-yard dash and he definitely plays to that speed. He has run down athletic quarterbacks, running backs and receivers with that speed and desire to get to the ball carrier.

Also with that speed, he can turn the corner as an edge rusher which is simply remarkable for a man that size. And if you a offensive linemans get too much retreat mode, Williams can turn right into him and bowl him over in a bull rush. He can also use that weight and strength to anchor down or push the line of scrimmage backwards in the running game.
