NFL Draft 2019: Top 10 bust-proof prospects entering NFL combine
By Shelbie Warr
Quinnen Williams is the actual definition of built by Alabama. He was a guy who just a season ago barely saw the field. Now, he is practically a shoe in as a top five pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. In 2018, he finished with 71 tackles, including 19.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks. This guy is an instant starter with Pro Bowl potential.
“Right now, I feel like I’m a way better player now than I was coming into this process,” Williams said in an interview with NBC Sports. “I lost a lot of body fat. I’m toned up, stronger and quicker because I’m leaner. I’m focused on body mass, and getting that Aaron Donald body.”
This young man lost his mother at the age of 12 and turned that grief, outlined in an article by the NFL, into a push for greatness that has worked out for him in amazing ways. He has become an efficient player in terms of his quickness and his ability to find the ball carrier and focus on him, blowing up the play whenever possible.
Williams is easily going to start at the next level, maybe even year one, and that is just the start of what could be an amazing career for the man who you could say started at the bottom in terms of his time at Alabama and in life as well.
