Tim Williams has all of the tools to be one of the top-tier edge rushers in the NFL. His first-step is extremely explosive like former Kansas City Chiefs edge rusher Derrick Thomas and he continues with burst. But make no mistake, speed as not all Williams can beat an offensive lineman with. <p>If he sees an offensive lineman oversetting for his speed he will hit him with one of his counter-moves. His favorite is a stutter-bull-rush but he also has a quick spin move he can use at any given moment. He also works very well when used in stunts with and interior defensive lineman.</p> <p>The one problem the scouting world might see with him now is his one-trick-pony perception. But from I’ve seen of him this year, his first as a full-time player, he hasn’t had a problem playing the run or in coverage. Williams also has the motor to stay on the field and still play with maximum effort every play.</p> <p>The Cleveland Browns couldn’t pass up having Williams on the other side of Jamie Collins. You need two edge rushers in today’s NFL and the Browns have good quarterbacks to deal with in their division. If the secondary could stay healthy, adding Williams to this young front-seven, could make the defense good.</p>. OLB. Alabama. Tim Williams. 13. player. 53
