It is entirely too soon to make any definitive conclusions about Quinnen Williams, the Jets’ third overall pick in the 2019 draft. Judging a player’s career after just 12 games and eight starts is neither fair nor feasible, because a much larger sample size is required to make that kind of evaluation.
But it is appropriate to suggest that Williams must show more — a lot more — in the coming years to justify the team’s investment in a player with such high expectations.
