Speaking to the media on October 5, New York Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich boldly proclaimed he would take Quincy Williams over any other linebacker in the NFL.
“There’s not a better ‘backer in the NFL right now,” Ulbrich said. “He is playing at an elite level.”
That was before the Jets’ Week 5 game against Denver. Since Ulbrich’s comments, Williams has only strengthened his coach’s argument with back-to-back dominant performances against Denver and Philadelphia.
Is Ulbrich correct? Or is this just a case of a coach hyping up his own guy?
