FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Leonard Williams is making his presence felt on opposing quarterbacks — even if his sacks total doesn’t tell the whole story.
The New York Jets defensive lineman has just two this season, but he has a whopping 26 quarterback hits. That means he’s getting passers off their spots, forcing throws and making them downright uncomfortable.
“People want to see the sacks,” Williams acknowledged Thursday. “I wouldn’t really call a QB hit a stat or anything. I just think of it as being disruptive. That’s what a defensive player wants to do, is be disruptive in any way possible.
