Strengths:

– He also is extremely quick to diagnose plays, seemingly almost knowing the plays before the ball is snapped
– Excellent at using an opposing team’s offensive lineman’s own momentum against themselves in block shedding
– Can get around blockers and spy ball carriers with the best of them
– Is like a heat seeking missile with a speed burst second to none when locked on a target
– Has excellent hand placement on offensive linemen
Weaknesses:
– Quinnen Williams has issues with keeping his weight on; however in the pros they will put him through a conditioning camp to re-assess his diet
– Has issues with a bull rush at times due to his apparent lack of size
– Also due to his lack of elite strength, Williams will have to rely on his leverage to win every battle
– He isn’t as effective against downhill running attacks
Overall:
Quinnen Williams recorded the fourth fastest 40-yard dash time in combine history for someone over 300 lbs. With Tank Johnson putting up an insane 4.69 time. Became a household name for college football fans and earning finalist honors for the Bronko Nagurski and Bednarik Awards and the Outland Trophy. His play strength is good; however his lack of mass and length will show up at times against NFL competition. Williams is an instant starter with potential to be going to the Pro Bowl every season.
