NFL Draft: Final Two-Round Mock
April 28, 2022
The quarterbacks might slide a bit farther than what was expected a month ago, potentially leaving Kenny Pickett's first-round status in question.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A second-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Williams could prove to be a steal. The Ole Miss product collected four sacks in only 264 snaps as a rookie and was able to stand out as a consistent threat to get to the quarterback. He'll need to improve against the run if he wants to challenge DeMarcus Lawrence for a starting spot, but Williams is on track to emerge as a key part of the Cowboys' Micah Parsons-led pass rush this season.

Praised by head coach
DEDallas Cowboys
May 20, 2022
Coach Mike McCarthy is excited over what he's seen from Williams so far in camp, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
"He has the gifts. He has the physical traits," McCarthy said of Williams. "He's obviously in an excellent system that he'll definitely benefit from. I think he'll do extremely well early for us." Williams was drafted by the Cowboys out of Ole Miss in the second round, and he's expected to help replace some of the pass-rushing production Dallas lost by letting Randy Gregory walk in free agency.
