2011 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
D.J. Williams, TE, Arkansas
Although he does not have great size, Williams stands at 6'2'' and 245 pounds and has good strength. He does not have ideal breakaway or straightaway speed, but he has been clocked as fast as 4.52 in the 40-yard dash and is deceptively quick. Williams has soft hands and is dangerous with the ball in his hands after the catch thanks to his ability to break tackles. He is a solid run-blocker to boot, and NFL teams will love that aspect of his game.
Williams is also as rock-solid as they come off the field. He won the 2010 Disney Spirit Award as the most inspirational player in college football, in part because he overcame a tough childhood that involved an abusive father. Williams is also active in community service. Based on both his talent and his leadership skills, Williams could come off the board as early as the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
