With his size, length, speed and playmaking ability on defense, Williams could be a tackling machine. In a sport where so many players are almost position-less and can just be put into spots to make plays, Williams fits that mold a ton.
Could he possibly stay at safety? Sure. He has the speed to stay there. But Williams would basically be breaking the mold of today’s NFL safety so we think he’d be even a stronger player for Texas if he moves to linebacker.
