| Jacquian Williams continues to shine in his rookie season with the Giants. |
The Bulls have had some talented players go to the NFL in the past few seasons, even last year. One player that continues to rise to the challenge is linebacker Jacquian Williams (6-3 224-pounds). Williams was selected in the 6th round by the New York Giants and has come on this year, racking up the tackles and helping the team stay in the playoff hunt in the NFC East.
Williams was a late round pick after a solid senior season for the Bulls, drawing praise from Mark Snyder. Snyder stated Williams was just coming into his own and would be a top talent at the next level and so far, he is right.
Usually, late round picks don't make a big impact in their careers, let alone their first season, but Williams is breaking that norm. Williams ranks 6th on the team in total tackles, totaling 65 on the season (48 solo tackles). He has also swatted 3 passes as well, being used more in zone coverage, but coming up to hit the ball carrier when needed.
While his teammate and former Bull Jason Pierre-Paul continues to get all the hype (well deserved as well), Williams is putting together a strong rookie season. The Giants have dealt with some injuries at the linebacker position, but Williams has stepped in and has helped the Giants stay in the NFC playoff hunt and will continue to make an impact in the last few weeks of the NFL season.
