The Green Bay Packers traded up for safety Evan Williams in the fourth round of this year’s draft and see him as someone who can line up in the nickel at the NFL level.
Williams saw his most snaps from the nickel this past season with 165, but that wasn’t what he was primarily asked to do, with the bulk of his snaps coming at free safety or in the box.
However, what the Packers saw from Williams at the Senior Bowl from a movement standpoint and his short area quickness, gives them the confidence that he can fill that nickel role in the NFL.
