Stumpy

Recommended Posts

6'3" - 309 lbs - 5.12 40yd - 30 reps

The official NFL combine site following Saturday’s session rated Williams a "top performer" in the 20-yard shuttle, 3-cone drill and bench press...

Williams started all 12 games this past season and earned the Mike Utley Award at the postseason banquet, given to the top Cougar o-lineman. A junior college transfer who redshirted his first season at WSU in 2008, Williams started 19 games in his Cougar career, missing four to injury.

Ok here we go:

Notes: Played center at Glendale (Ariz.) Community College from 2006-07. Moved to guard and redshirted with the Cougars in ’08. Played eight games in ’09, starting seven at left guard (non-start came on Senior Night). Sustained a high ankle sprain against Hawaii early in the season and missed four games. Moved to center in ’10 and started all 12 games.

Positives: Outstanding size and girth to anchor and hold the line against big bodies. Flashes some aggression in the run game. Shows pop in his punch. Versatile — has played inside and outside.

Negatives: Top-heavy and tends to bend at the waist and slip off blocks. Appeared very stiff and rigid at the East-West Shrine Game. Struggles to reach the block point on the second level. Needs to improve his functional lower-body strength. Immature early in his career.

Summary: Thick-bodied, long-armed, versatile interior player most ideally suited for a role as a swing backup.

NFL projection: Priority free agent.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
