Williams started 27 games at left tackle. He's inconsistent, but there is some encouraging tape and he has the tools to develop. Williams can seal the edge and work up to the second level on outside zone runs. He walls off defenders and gets some movement on runs between the tackles. He has the length to land his punch and large enough hands to lock onto defenders as a pass blocker. He uses his size to anchor well, and he can plant his outside foot before redirecting edge rushers that try to cross his face.
Williams possesses the quick footwork that makes him an intriguing late-round flier at offensive tackle. However, to earn serious starting consideration in the NFL, he'll need to improve his balance and play with more control.
Williams, a college tackle, has the body type of a guard, which is where he might be asked to move as a pro. He’s tight-hipped, leading to waist-bending, but he has adequate quickness in the early stages of the block. He lacks decisiveness and body control to make consistent use of early advantages. He also needs to get stronger and more aggressive as a run blocker. He’s long in pass pro with adequate footwork when projected to guard, but it remains to be seen if he can survive against pro bull-rushers.

Rhyan also took center snaps last preseason too
