Leonard Williams, DL
Yeah, sure…Leonard Williams isn’t a rookie. What he is, though, is a 22-year old beast of a defensive talent in the trenches.
Surprisingly – after being tabbed by many as the most talented player of the 2015 NFL Draft – the Big Cat didn’t showcase the most promising rookie campaign.
He proved to be valuable starting the season alongside Muhammad Wilkerson when Sheldon Richardson was suspended for his off-the-field issues. He slid right into Todd Bowles‘s 3-4 defensive personnel.
He just didn’t dominate – something many fans expected.
Keep tabs on Williams’s progress this August. Should he take his “solid” status and turn it into “domination,” watch out.
