FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Pepper Johnson expects even bigger things from “Big Cat.”
Leonard Williams, the Jets’ sixth overall pick in 2015, made his presence felt as a rookie, and Johnson believes the defensive lineman’s growth between Years 1 and 2 could lead to even more productivity.
“He’s physically capable of being one of the better defensive linemen in the league,” the defensive line coach and three-time Super Bowl champion said Wednesday.
Williams is committed to seeing his stock rise.
Not too long ago, the stud lineman from USC was being heralded as the top prospect in his draft class.
