Williams is a penetrating defensive tackle with good short area burst. At 6'3, 320 pounds, he has the size to play in the middle of a number of NFL defenses, and he's quick enough off the snap to cause headaches for slower guards. Williams is strong at the point of attack, and I would highly recommend keeping anyone named "Tweety" away from him in the backfield, as he tends to make plays there. He also does a good job of reading and reacting to screen plays, giving himself a chance to break them up or make a short gain tackle. Overall, I see Williams as a guy who can be a top fight defensive tackle in the NFL.
