ESPN Insider (From Last Year)
Williams is a very efficient passer with enough running skills to keep defenses honest; displays the ability to move the ball primarily down the field with his arm, demonstrating the accuracy needed to get the ball to receivers on time and in stride. Has the size with enough athleticism for the quarterback position at the major level of competition. His frame appears capable of supporting additional bulk over time. We see a prospect who sets up quickly with eyes down field and ready to throw; carriers the ball a little low prior to delivery but throws with good balance and weight distribution, stepping up and into his throws. Gets the ball out of his hand quickly with a compact, ¾ delivery motion, demonstrating the arm strength and touch needed to complete the medium/long throws over the top; flashes the arm strength needed to put the ball in tight spots, on time and in stride. Displays the athleticism needed to keep the ball alive and not panic under pressure; is able to scramble, locate secondary receivers on the move and shorten his delivery motion to complete passes while under duress. This guy is a tough competitor capable of running the zone read play and gaining good yardage off the edge; although lacking a burst or second gear, his lateral quickness and smooth playing speed allows him to rip off huge chunks of yardage. We feel Williams has BCS throwing skills which may require some time and perhaps a red shirt year to develop prior to competing for starting time at the next level of play.
