RB KEILAND WILLIAMS
OVERVIEW Williams has been a backup running back for his whole career at LSU and never managed to gain more than 500 yards in a single season. He shows better physical traits for the running back position than his teammate, Charles Scott, but does not get nearly as many touches. His speed, quickness, agility and elusiveness translate to more success at the NFL level but will be a bit of a gamble in that he has yet to show it on a consistent basis. Williams will need a lot of work on route running and blocking techniques but he does have good tools to work with.
STRENGTHS Williams is a nice combination of size and speed for the running back position. Has good elusiveness for a big back, can make defenders miss and get to the perimeter. Is a guy who will finish off his runs and fight for extra yardage. Is a high- effort player. Exhibits the necessary burst through the hole.
WEAKNESSES Williams has limited exposure and never carried the load in college. Never had a highly-productive season. At this time, we question his route running skills and overall comfort in the passing game. Can be caught dancing too much at times resulting in negative plays.
DT AL WOODS
OVERVIEW Woods is a one-year starter with good size and strength. He lacks great initial quickness, speed and range as a defender but can be effective between the tackles when he plays with good pad level. He has strong hands when he utilizes them to jolt and restrict interior running lanes. He can be an effective bull rusher to push the pocket but needs to expand his pass-rush package with more counter moves. Woods has the size, strength and enough athleticism to be an effective run defender at the next level, but there are concerns about his ability to transition to the next level. His work ethic, technique, effort and durability likely will hinder his draft status in 2010.
STRENGTHS Tall and bulky with a wide base and good balance. Uses big strong hands to get inside and stifle blockers. He is difficult to move, eats up blockers, and clogs up running lanes. Has the strength to be a good bull rusher and collapse the pocket.
WEAKNESSES Lacks initial quickness and is not fast enough to track down ball carriers. Does not always play with good leverage and his pad level is high at times. Needs to improve his pass rush moves and overall technique. Carries too much body weight and struggles with his endurance. There are questions about his work ethic and maturity.
