10. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

LSU’s 6-2, 182-pound redshirt sophomore cornerback Andraez “Greedy” Williams is accurately nicknamed. In his freshman season, Williams wreaked havoc in the SEC, finishing with six interceptions and 10 passes defensed.

The glaring hole in his game comes in run support, but he does a solid job wrapping up using the twisting technique to bring down ball carriers. However, as the great Deion Sanders loves to say, corners are paid to cover not tackle. And, there’s arguably no better cover corner than Williams, who possesses great feet, eyes and hands.

At the line when asked to press, he does a great job with the off-hand jam technique. He does a great job in off-man as well, being able to click and close on the ball. When asked to play in the nickel, Williams shows elite quickness and ability to move in space. He’s the type of corner that you can move all over the field.

Williams needs to add more strength and weight, but he has a chance to be a shutdown corner at the next level. There isn’t a scheme that doesn’t fit and his skill-set makes him a plug and play cornerback from Day 1 in the NFL.
