2021 NFL Draft prospect profile: Trill Williams, DB, Syracuse

The NFL is constantly on the lookout for big, long, athletic cornerbacks to compete with the ever-increasing number of big, long, athletic wide receivers being churned out by college programs.

But the problem with big, long corners is that they need truly rare athleticism and fluidity to overcome their height and keep up with receivers throughout their routes.
