You are also forgetting Williams redshirted due to size his freshman year, you don’t think his frame played a part in him not being ranked higher?

Don't know and don't care what played a part in his not being ranked higher. But, this helps make my point. You can't rely solely on recruiting rankings. You can go by how much they help their team in college and if they play in the NFL.
