    Click Here to view our NFL Draft Big Board with player rankings and analysis. Click here to learn more about our updated player grade scale and critical position factors. Player Profile Name: Jameson Williams School: Alabama Crimson Tide Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: WR Height: 6016 Weight: 189 Year: Junior Jersey Number: 1 (Alabama), 6 (Ohio State) Offensive Scheme: Pro Style Spread/Multiple West Coast Offensive Coordinator: Bill O'Brien (Alabama), Ryan Day, Kevin Wilson (Ohio State) Games Reviewed: 2021 Georgia, 2021 Auburn, 2021 Southern Miss, 2021 Miami, 2021 LSU Position Specific Critical Factors Hands (7) Very Good The best WR's in football display great hands; they can snatch or pluck the football when in tight coverage or the wide-open field. Some receivers use their bodies when catching and therefore need more development as hands catchers. Separation (8) Near Elite A player's ability to separate from a defender while running a route is dependent on his ability to run a precise and clean route. Separation is not just the prospect's ability to separate with speed, but his ability to run several routes at a high level. The prospect's ability to sell a route to get a defender out of position is also a key way for a player to gain separation. Players with a limited route tree can make it easier for defenders to predict their route running tendencies. The ability to use their body to box out is another way to gain separation. After Catch Ability (8) Near Elite A running back with the football in their hands, receivers who can catch a football and make defenders miss in open space, or that can break tackles is a commodity at the highest level of football: high-level WR's show elusiveness, strength, speed, and display toughness after the catch. Key Strengths Smooth Route Runner Elite Speed After Catch Ability Key Weaknesses Improve Run Blocking Concentration Drops (Nit Picking) Pass Game Summary In 2021, Jameson Williams displayed his high-level speed and versatility at the WR position. At Alabama, Williams played most of his snaps at the Z or in the slot allowing him to get a free release. Williams can play the on-ball role when needed at the next level due to his quick release and hand usage, but he needs to improve his strength to win against more physical NFL defenders. Williams is a savvy and smooth route runner; he can win underneath with slants, in-cuts, and curl routes. He does a great job locating the open areas of the field when facing zone coverage. He can win against man coverage either by taking the top off with pure speed, using a double move, or quickly stemming a deep route into an open area to separate from a defender. Williams is excellent after-the-catch. He can make defenders miss in space, or a condensed area, or he can beat them to a spot with pure speed. He shows good strength to break tackles and pick up a few extra yards when needed. Jameson Williams displays good to great concentration when locating the football on deep throws. He can track the football at a high level and make adjustments mid-route to put himself in a position to make a play. Run Game Summary In the run game, Williams is versatile. He can handle jet sweeps and end-around plays, using his speed to beat defenders to the edge. Once in the open field, he is as dynamic as any player in the open field. Williams must improve his strength to move defenders at the NFL level as a blocker. He does a good job getting in the way of defenders to shield them from the ball carrier. Final Analysis Jameson Williams projects as a top 15 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. His speed, route running ability, and overall versatility as an athlete that defenses must respect are what sets him apart. Williams is also a gunner on special teams, who competes with just as much enthusiasm as a gunner on punt coverage as he does when he scores on an explosive play at the WR position. Williams is also a dynamic and explosive kick returner. Once at the NFL level, Williams will need to improve his overall strength, which will help him to defeat physical NFL level DB's when challenged in press coverage. Williams has successfully beaten press coverage at the college level using initial speed and quickness. If he only improves marginally, He will quickly separate himself from all of the WR's in this talented 2022 class. Final Grade Analysis Final Grade: (7.1) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Ceiling Grade: (7.5) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Floor Grade: (6.6) (Developmental Potential) (6.6-6.5) Low-Level Starter

  • 2022 NFL Draft Profile: Michigan State RB Kenneth Walker III

    Click Here to view our NFL Draft Big Board with player rankings and analysis. Click here to learn more about our updated player grade scale and critical position factors. Player Profile Name: Kenneth Walker III School: Wake Forest Demon Deacons/Michigan State Spartans Recruiting Profile: Click Here Position: RB Height: 5090 Weight: 210 Year: Junior Jersey Number: 9/25 Offensive Scheme: (Multiple/Run Heavy Michigan State), (Spread/RPO Wake Forest) Offensive Coordinator: Jay Johnson Michigan State, Warren Ruggiero Wake Forest Games Reviewed: 2021 Michigan, 2021 Ohio State, 2021 Rutgers, 2020 Virginia Position Specific Critical Factors Vision: (7) Very Good Ability to run to daylight and gain positive yardage. Running without hesitation, seeing cut-back lanes, patience to follow blocks, finding open seams, creating something out of nothing, ability to set up blockers. Contact Balance: (9) Near Elite Ability to maintain his balance in traffic, bounce off of would-be tacklers and continue to advance the football. This grade should reflect his ability to play with a low center of gravity, strength, balance, and foot coordination to keep plays alive amidst contact and foot trash. Pass Game Impact: (6) Good Combination of his ability to make plays out of the backfield as a receiver, catching skill, and pick-up defenders in pass pro. Key Strengths Vision/Patience Burst/Short Area Quicks Contact Balance Key Weaknesses Routes Out Of Backfield Pass Pro Pass Game Summary Kenneth Walker's limited usage as a pass-catcher in his two seasons at Wake Forest and in 2021 at Michigan State does not conclude he lacks as a receiver. Walker has displayed good hands and adequate route running ability from out of the backfield when given the opportunity. On film, he is a hands catcher with good after-the-catch ability. Walker is a willing blocker on passing downs but needs to improve his blitz pickup. Walker has displayed three-down ability at the collegiate level, and with more repetition, he can improve his ability as both a receiver and a blocker at the next level. Run Game Summary As a runner, Kenneth Walker displays great patience allowing his blocks to set up, good vision (eyes) to find daylight where he can accelerate and burst into a defense's second and third level. His nifty footwork, combined with short-area quickness, is high level, he can make defenders miss in a phonebooth, and if you give him space, he will win a high percentage of one-on-one battles with defenders. Kenneth Walker displays good durability and stamina as a player who appears to get better throughout a game. Walker is a contact balance savant who bounces off of tacklers consistently and can create something out of nothing. Walker does a great job taking care of the football, considering he is consistently dancing in and around traffic. On film, you see a dynamic and creative runner, who, when it looks like he might get reeled in for negative yardage, Walker pops out from within the traffic to pick up a positive gain. Final Analysis Kenneth Walker is a dynamic playmaker who displays a versatile running style; he can dance his way through traffic on one play and then make one cut and get downhill on the next. He will be the highest-rated RB on a lot of NFL Draft big boards for 2022, and if not for the question marks about his ability as a receiver, he would be a projected late first-round pick. Walker will have opportunities to show more of what he can do as a receiver by participating at Michigan States Pro Day and the NFL scouting combine. Final Grade Analysis Final Grade: (6.9) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level Ceiling Grade: (8) (Instant Impact Potential) (9.0-7.0) High-End Starter Floor Grade: (6.9) (High Upside Potential) (6.9-6.7) Solid Starter Level
