Leonard Williams to Jets: Twitter Reacts as DT Is Selected in 2015 NFL Draft

The rich got richer Thursday night as the New York Jets added Leonard Williams to what was already a great defensive line. The Jets picked the USC Trojans defensive lineman sixth overall in the first round of the 2015 NFL draft.

According to Scout.com's Jamie Newberg, Williams is the 78th Trojans player selected in the first round, which puts USC further ahead of the next-closest school:
