Connor Williams. 6. player. 31. Scouting Report. OT. Texas. Pick Analysis

Is it time to give up on Eli Manning? Doubtful considering the number of quarterbacks to go before the Giants pick and the idea of those in free agency not being better than the former Super Bowl winner.

So, the best bet is to protect Manning and hope all those skill players return healthy next year.

Connor Williams stands 6-foot-6 and weighs almost 300 pounds, and has played along the Texas starting line since his freshman year. He had a great season under Charlie Strong and is gaining even more pro-style offensive experience with new head coach Tom Herman.

In September, Williams was injured in a double-overtime loss to USC. The school announced that he will need surgery and his return to the Longhorns remains unknown.

The injury was a sprain to the medial and posterior collateral ligaments, to go along with a meniscus tear.
