I haven't keyed in on every single snap that Williams has played, but it seems like he is really thriving against the run. If he doesn't make the tackle, he usually busts up the play. I feel like he has a knack of finding the person with the ball, whether it be the QB or the RB. Do you guys agree that he has transitioned very well into an "every-down player?"

Again, I haven't focused in on every play, its just something that I think I have noticed.

I don't have any numbers, but seems like he's doing well. He isn't in on as many run plays as I thought he'd be this year, though.

Seems like when teams run, he pushes the tackle way into the backfield and gives the RB nowhere to go but into the teeth of the defense.

When he runs a stunt inside, I feel like he is impossible to stop.

I do like that he's an every down player now, but I still liked it when he came in fresh vs Kentucky (I know it's UK) and looked even more explosive.

This is as impressive of a run-stuffing play as you will see a player make. Basically acts as if the guy that is blocking him isn't even there.

I think Williams' biggest asset in the run game at this level is his quickness. He's not a big guy who can hold the point if the tackles gets on him, but if he can attack and maneuver around the OL he can find the ball carrier.
