Williams has the true makings of a shutdown cornerback. He’s someone who eliminates an opposing No. 1 receiver and makes big plays in big games. Williams has that talent.

Williams has immense upside too, similar to that of 2013 Richard Sherman, or prime-time Deion Sanders. He is 6-foot-3, has long arms, and is a great athlete, Williams will shine in the NFL. Unfortunately I have worries about his mindset and if failing early in his career will set him back forever. For that reason, he’s a true “boom or bust” prospect.

Williams is a perfect Josh Norman replacement. The team can keep Norman until 2020, let Greedy learn and develop under him. That will give him time to learn from the guys like Jonathan Allen and Ryan Kerrigan on how to be a pro. Williams could be the leagues best corner for the next decade. The Redskins just need to keep him right.
