War Room analysis
Strengths: Has great height, weight, speed and long arms. Is best suited to play in a bump-and-run system. Has excellent strength, and is not afraid to be physical and challenge for jump balls. Is particularly effective in the red zone. Is quick. Shows fluid hip movements to turn and run with receivers. Shows above-average burst to the ball. Shows good instincts and route-recognition skills. Is a playmaker with excellent hands. Is good in run support, and fills the hole hard. Is an excellent tackler. Has experience at safety and returning kicks.
Weaknesses: Can be overly aggressiveness and lose focus in zone coverage. Must improve field awareness. Must learn to better read quarterbacks' eyes and receivers' tendencies. Must become more disciplined and make wiser decisions. Gambles too much, and gets burned by double moves and pump fakes.
Bottom line: Williams could become an elite NFL cornerback. Opponents fear throwing in his direction. He has a rare combination of height, weight and speed. He plays with a swagger that NFL defensive coordinators prefer. He is smooth and consistent and should start in Week 1 of the '06 season. He will be the first cornerback drafted and should be a top-five pick.
