Snared by Green Bay
The Packers selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 111th overall.
ANALYSIS
Williams comes from a good background for a defensive back, as he was coached by Dan Lanning at Oregon in his senior season. He's not a big-bodied safety at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, and his long speed (4.6) will be tested by pass catchers. However, he's a smart player who plays with an edge and stuck his nose in on 82 tackles in 2023. The Packers drafted Georgia safety Javon Bullard on Day 2, so they're likely hoping that he's the one that takes the starting strong safety job, but Williams has the talent to find his way onto the field in some capacity.

Making push for playing time
Williams has put himself in the mix for playing time with the starters after a strong preseason debut Saturday against the Browns, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Williams had six tackles and a forced fumble across 22 defensive snaps. The 2024 fourth-round pick is competing with 2024 second-rounder Javon Bullard for the starting strong safety role. It's possible Green Bay will use a rotation between the two rookies, or they could even share the field, as Green Bay had them on the field simultaneously at one point against the Browns, with Bullard shifting to a nickel cornerback role.
