Bfanlc Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 This guy was a mental case in college. Could never follow the rules at au. Hopefully he has got his head on straight otherwise he is a cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/dhaquille-williams?id=2555210 Besides the off field problems, the scouting reporting on him is that he isn't very athletic and has trouble separating. But he does have good hands and can make contested catches which is mostly what our offense has been missing anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noacls Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is he going to play TE? nfl.com has him at 6'2" 229. Also his speed and athleticism numbers are pedestrian. Does not seem to have McBeane type of character either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the piece from bleacher report on his personal life. He went to Edmonton matured and prospered for 2 years.

PirateHookerMD Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) " Williams, once rated the nation's No. 1 player out of the junior college level, is scheduled to arrive Wednesday in Indianapolis. "Go out there and show the kind of talent you showcased two years ago at Auburn," Kiper said. "He showed he can be a No. 1 guy, he could be a guy that could be a tough matchup with his size. But, again, interviews with him are going to be critical and the type of workout and the type of measurables he shows are going to be important." Kiper believes Williams could be drafted in the fourth or fifth rounds, but how he interviews with NFL teams Wednesday through Friday will prove more important than how he performs in agility drills Saturday. "Based on what he showed two years ago, if you look at tapes from those games, you would have thought he could have been a second-round pick," Kiper said. "If you're thinking fourth or fifth round now, if you reconcile the other stuff and you're OK with it, then fourth or fifth round may be very possible."' https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2016/02/will_an_nfl_team_draft_dhaquille_williams.html "SOURCES TELL US "I can tell you that he burned all of his bridges over there (Auburn). He's a selfish, me-first guy and I don't think he's trustworthy in the locker room at all. He didn't compete at all this year. I wouldn't draft him in any round." -- NFC Director of Personnel" http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/dhaquille-williams?id=2555210 4.7 40, pretty sure that's Kyle Williams time. ""He has great size, and he has very good hands and he's tough, but if you're not a good locker-room guy, and I've heard from scouts that he's a selfish player and not a good guy, then you better have a great trait like speed. He doesn't. Size isn't enough," Zierlein said. "He's not a Marcus Peters, who was a first-round pick after being kicked off his (college) team. I'll bet everything I have on that. Big wide receivers that don't get open are a dime a dozen." http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000551103/article/zierlein-duke-williams-might-go-undrafted-in-16-after-dismissal Never hurts to take a flyer but lets not get ahead of ourselves.

sven233 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I'll say this.... He knows how to track and high-point the ball. Not sure he has top-end athleticism, but he offers a catch radius. Will he make it? Who knows..... I'm all for trying it, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looks like he can play above the rim. Maybe he has had an attitude adjustment playing in the CFL. If not, he’ll be a training camp cut with nothing lost. He’ll get his shot at the big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
