Game Film Evaluated:
Louisville (2014)
Virginia (2014)

Pros: Gets proper positioning in man and zone coverage. Is able to stay in close coverage without excessive contact downfield. Comfortable in press, is able to turn and run effectively. Does not shy away from contact. Effective blitzer, times well and takes quickest path to ball.

Cons: A little tightness in his hips, can get turned around in man coverage. Not effective jamming receiver at the line. Consistently lets the receiver cross his face and get inside on slants. Inconsistent tackler. Does not turn and locate the ball, gets into excellent position but fails to make a play on the ball. Does not have the elite quickness to stick with undersized slot receivers, needs to stay outside.


Summary: PJ Williams is a solid all around corner who has good frame projecting to the next level. He has the height teams look for in a corner, has the man coverage and shows a willingness to tackle. He can line up at the LOS and carry his man downfield effectively. He needs to tighten up his technique in man preventing the inside so easily as he did in college. He has got to improve locating the ball and making a play on the ball. College QBs  won’t test a WR who is covered but an NFL QB will test a corner who they know won’t locate the ball especially matched vs a WR who out fights for the ball. He was charged with a DUI in early April. Williams is a late 2nd round pick.
