2019 NFL Draft: Five key prospects for Kansas City Chiefs fans to know

4. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

Andraez “Greedy” Williams is one of two players on this list who I believe have been over-analyzed through the draft process. Greedy Williams was once seen as a lock as a top 10 selection and drew comparisons to some of the best shutdown corners in the game, including fellow LSU alum and current Arizona Cardinal Patrick Peterson.

As the season went on and Williams was put under the microscope, people began poking holes in the LSU Tiger’s game. Primarily, people began to worry that Williams was making “business decision” when it came to run support and tackling. This invoked images of former Chiefs corner Marcus Peters and soured many of the team’s fan base on the idea of drafting Greedy Williams.

While the concerns about tackling have merit, they are not the giant red flag they have been presented. Williams has shown the ability and willingness to make tackles in the open field, but he tends to be an ankle biter (tackles low, dives at the feet with poor form). Additionally, Williams has a slight frame at 6’2 and 185 pounds.

All concerns aside, people seem to forget what made Williams the coveted prospect he was just a few months ago. Williams has elite ball skills and athleticism and has the potential to be a shutdown corner that you can leave on an island with a team’s best receiver. Eight interceptions and 19 pass breakups as a two-year starter for LSU is a testament to Williams ability to disrupt opposing teams passing game.

It is also important to remember that the Chiefs added Tyrann Mathieu, a living LSU legend, who would prove to be a valuable mentor and motivator in the secondary for Williams. He makes sense for Kansas City in the 2019 NFL Draft, especially if he slides all the way to pick 29.
