Dan Williams DT Tennessee #55

Ht: 6'2
Wt: 327

Strengths:
Impressive size and strength. Has the ability to take on multiple blockers. Could play nose tackle in the NFL. Athleticism is above average for a lineman of his size. Flashes the ability to make plays in the backfield and few times per game.
Weaknesses:
Not a great fit for every defensive scheme due to his size; may be limited to a nose tackle which not every team uses. Can be taken out of a game when teams focus on him. Inconsistent throughout his career.
Comments:
Players with Williams size, strength and consistent player are essentially can't-miss prospects. However, its rare that they develop into Pro Bowl caliber players. He should be a quality starter, but elite nose tackles only come around every so often and I don't believe Williams is in that category. He would be a safe late 1st-round pick, but it would be a reach to select him any higher. What you see is what you get with Williams, he'll be a consistent pro, but doesn't have much room to improve from where he is at already.
