Who is Rams Linebacker Jabara Williams?
By this point pretty much everyone knows the stories of the top two draft picks for the . Whether you liked or disliked the picks of Robert Quinn and Lance Hendricks you at least have come to an understanding of why the picks make sense for the Rams. Over the next week I will take a deeper look into the later round picks for the Rams. Today we’ll go in depth with Seventh Round Draft Pick Jabara Williams, linebacker from Stephen F,Jamaal Charles Jersey. Austin State.
The Background
This is the type of player that I love to see the Rams taking in later rounds. Taking a player from a small college that had huge production is the recipe for hitting in the late rounds. Williams was a three-time First Team All Southland Conference selection at linebacker. In the past three seasons Williams has had 123, 113 and 108 tackles. That is getting after the ball carrier,Jamaal Charles Jerseys.
In addition Williams projects as an outside linebacker, which is a position the Rams are in desperate need of improving. Williams is a little small at 228 pounds and needs to improve his strength, but he clearly has a nose for the football and seems to be a great fit.
What Will Make the Pick a Success
There are two levels of success for Williams. If Williams comes in and is a special teams warrior then the pick is a success right away. What would be even better though would be if Williams could come in and start battling for the outside linebacker job during the season. In 2010 the position was a revolving door for the Rams. If somehow Williams can come in and get the job after being a 7thround pick from a small college then that would be a great success.
What Will Make the Pick a Failure
The pick would be a failure if Williams were overmatched in the because of his size and his lack of playing major college football. Special Teams will be the key. Williams cannot afford to come in and try to do everything he can on special teams.
Outlook
I have visions of London Fletcher when I look at Jabara Williams. Everyone thinks he is undersized yet his numbers tell you a different story,Andy Studebaker Jerseys. I am not saying that Williams will be anywhere near as good as Fletcher, but there are similarities. Williams produces and will now get an opportunity to do it on the highest level. I love small college guys who get a chance. Williams will have a golden opportunity here with the Rams.
