GAME FILM
#73 Darryl Williams vs Iowa (2019)

Strengths: Williams is the epitome of what an NFL line coach seeks a  versatile lineman with the ability to play all five positions on the offensive line. His experience since high school allows him to make an NFL roster and can step into any position. Williams demonstrates immense strength to win most one-on-one blocks and the ability to turn and shield the rusher. He demonstrates solid combinations blocks, with a substantial punch and the ability to climb to the second level to put a body on the linebacker. Pretty fluid in his hips to set an anchor to counter bull rushers. A very cerebral player who has excellent awareness of defensive stunts, twists, and blitzes, especially in the A-gaps. Despite versatility, it may be a better fit as an interior lineman at the center or guard positions.

Weaknesses: After watching film for the second, our evaluation found that Williams lacks mobility; however, his lateral agility is satisfactory. With the lack of mobility, he will not fit teams that have zone-run schemes. Needs to work on better hand positions while engaging on blocks. Needs to get stronger, initial contact is not very explosive, prominent, and larger nose-tackles will push him back despite his great anchor.In pro-style offenses, he will need to enhance his footwork to over-power defenders at the next level. 

Draft Grade: 5.93

Draft Projection: 2nd-4th round
