Player insights

UDFA Elijah Williams made the roster last season at 6'2", 300 pounds and offers position versatility along the defensive interior. He played 42 snaps on defense and showed promise despite a couple embarrassing reps in his first game; he improved over the course of the season and looked capable of holding his own against bigger players, generating push at the point of attack. The source projects that with incremental strength improvement, more consistent pad level, better hand usage, and quicker get-off, he could earn significantly more snaps in rotation this season and emerge as at least a quality backup. The source notes he could even rise above Levi Drake-Rodriquez on the depth chart.
