Greedy Williams 6-2, 185 lbs. 2nd Year as Pro

Greedy Williams was drafted to this Browns team with high expectations. He missed the first four games of the season due to injury but played and started in all the rest. Williams had 47 tackles during the season and for someone who was pinned for not being a good tackler coming into the league had a 14 percent missed tackle rate when attempting a tackle.

A place for improvement should be his coverage skills. He had only two deflections on the year and had no interceptions. Williams was targeted 62 times and gave up 38 completions making his completion percentage a concerning 61 percent.

On a positive note, he did not give up a touchdown in coverage during his rookie campaign. Williams is still a solid No. 2 corner in the current defense. His skills match well with a man to man scheme or zone. With more additions to the safety spot as well, Williams should be able to refine his cover skills and learn more from the veterans on the team.

Williams now has a full offseason to improve his craft to make his coverage skills better, and with guarding Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. in practice every day, we should hope that he keeps those completion numbers down while adding more deflections and turnovers in the upcoming season.
