Williams plays every snap with a white-hot motor and intensity that opponents found hard to match in 2025. He’s a natural knee bender, using his leverage to blow up blocks and dart into gaps to disrupt play development in the run game. However, he’s hindered by a lack of length and explosiveness that will make it much tougher for him to create pressure as a pro.

Williams is an unselfish, energetic edge defender who plays with quickness and a nose for the football. He projects as a rotational base end who can reduce in subpackages.

Williams is a competitive, rangy EDGE whose non-stop motor and active hands make him an intriguing rotational player at the next level, as a lack of consistent pass rush ability and setting the edge limit his ability to become a starter early on.

Pressure is production, and Williams can generate pressure on the opposing passer. He can win with power, speed, and technique off the edge. He also posted the ninth-best vertical among defensive ends at the Combine, checking in at 35.5 inches. That speaks to his power and explosiveness off the edge.
