24. player. 32. . LB. Alabama. Tim Williams

The Arizona Cardinals draft Alabama linebacker Tim Williams, an explosive pass rusher who can develop in the run game and pass coverage.

Arizona could really use some help in the rushing defense category. They rank 27th in rushing yards allowed, giving up 118.2 rushing yards a contest.

Williams has 39 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, and 15.5 sacks in his career at Alabama. He had 9.5 sacks in 11 games last season for the Crimson Tide to lead the team. He’s an anchor on the defending National Champion’s highly touted defense. He’s also got two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery on the season.
