NFL Draft Preview: Is Duke Williams Worth The Risk?

If you were a NFL team in need of a wide receiver and had the chance in the late rounds of this year’s draft, would you take former Auburn Tiger Duke Williams? There are cases for and against it.

Williams never could get out of his own way off the field at Auburn, being suspended for the 2015 Outback Bowl, most of fall practice, and then being let go for good in October.

He’s a young man that has since apologized, but does the obvious talent overcome the risks of even more troublesome behavior?

Sure, it can.
