He was graded as a seventh-round prospect/priority free agent by NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein, who believes Williams is worth a shot based on his athleticism and measurables.

“Sixth-year senior who is likely to transition from tackle to guard due to a lack of length,” Zierlein wrote. “Williams has a frame that should accept more muscle mass with additional work and he plays with admirable aggression. He has the athletic qualities move-blocking teams look for and can get to play-side/back-side blocks. His hand placement and pad level frequently leave him at a disadvantage leverage-wise, though, and his pass protection is too reactive, leading to frantic recoveries that lack technique. Williams has developmental potential that might warrant a trip to a practice squad for a look.”

An Alaska native who participated in the East-West Shrine Bowl, Williams spent his entire collegiate career at UMD. He started out as a tight end before transitioning to the offensive line while primarily lining up as a tackle, though he has some experience at guard.

At his Pro Day, Williams ran a 5.17-second 40-yard dash while measuring in at 6-foot-5 1/2 and 314 pounds at the Shrine Bowl.
