Dallas Cowboys: 5 Players to watch vs. Seahawks in Week 3
4. Connor Williams
Going from talking about the first-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys to the second-round pick of the team, left guard Connor Williams is another player who can be described as must-watch for the Week 3 game this Sunday in Seattle.
Williams improved from Week 1 to Week 2 as Patrik Walker of 247Sports.com wrote in a recent article following the Week 2 win over the Giants:
"“Williams had zero opportunity for ramp-up in his rookie debut, tasked with helping contain All-Pro interior lineman Dontari Poe and his pro bowl compatriot, Kawann Short — a tall task for even a veteran to achieve.”"
That was a huge feat for the rookie offensive guard, especially after how he and the Cowboys offensive line played in the season opener in the loss to the Carolina Panthers. Williams will most likely be facing the likes of Jarran Reed, Nazair Jones at defensive tackle and middle linebackers Austin Calitro and Bobby Wagner, to name just a few players this weekend.
Overall, what makes Williams a must-watch player is the fact he is still progressing in his career, and facing a team like Seattle on the road, it will be interesting to see how he handles the crowd noise and playing in the Seattle atmosphere.
