There may not be a more likable player from this year’s draft class, or in the entire NFL, than Williams. His smile is contagious and his giddy take on being a pro football player is everything that’s right about sports.

And, oh yeah, the dude’s a beast of a player too.

Combining Williams’ easy-to-like persona and impossible-to-block talent seems like a recipe for Defensive Rookie of the Year, and the cherry on top? He’s playing in the league’s biggest media market.

If Williams is who we think he is, he could quickly ascend into superstar status after just one season.
