Jimmy Williams NFL Draft Bio

You will not find many defensive backs that have proven to be top flight talents at two positions in the secondary like Jimmy William. As a sophomore in 2003 at the free safety position, Williams racked up 114 tackles, four for loss, and two interceptions. As a junior, in the corner position, to take advantage of his athleticism and he turned in another standout season. As a corner, Jimmy finished the year with 60 tackles, 5.5 for loss, and five interceptions. Williams brings great size to the secondary, with the height to match up with any receiver on the field, and the strength to overpower most wide receivers. Williams combines that power with very good athleticism and excellent speed. Jimmy Williams is an all around threat in the secondary. Williams will hit you hard but will also turn and run step for step with you down the field. His versatility and experience at two spots will increase his value come draft day.

Even though he has the speed and has been a standout college corner, Williams may not project very well at corner in the NFL. He doesn’t have the greatest fluidity in his turns, and will often lose ground on smaller receivers because of their quickness. If he can work on his foot speed he has the ability to be a great corner in the NFL

Even if he is not a corner, Jimmy Williams should be a standout player in the NFL His playmaking ability and aggressiveness as a free safety could make him one of the best safeties in football. Williams’s size enable him to play corner against the bigger wideouts in the league, but there are legitimate concerns about him covering the smaller receivers. If a team feels he can play corner, he could be the first corner selected. Most likely though, he will be viewed as a safety prospect and should still hear his name called in the first frame.
