Potential first-round LB Tim Williams admits to failed drug tests at Alabama

Alabama outside linebacker Tim Williams may be drawing some red flags from some prospective NFL teams.

Williams, a potential first-round pick in the upcoming 2017 NFL Draft, admitted to failing multiple drug tests while in college at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday.

“(I’m a) young player making decisions that I grew from,” Williams said. “That’s what life is about – being a man on and off the field, owning up to your mistakes. Everyone makes them. I’m not here dancing around and joking. I know I’m here with something to prove. I’m obviously behind the eight-ball, so I’m here to prove not only to myself but to every organization that if they get me, they’re going to get the best player here.
