The first round of the 2015 NFL draft left the New York Jets counting their lucky stars that Leonard Williams fell to them at the sixth pick in the draft Thursday night in Chicago.
The defensive end from the University of Southern California ranked as the best defensive prospect and arguably the best overall prospect on most experts' big boards. Bleacher Report’s NFL draft lead writer Matt Miller placed Williams just behind Jameis Winston in his rankings.
The 6’5” 302-pound freight train's drop past the Jacksonville Jaguars, Oakland Raiders and Washington Redskins all the way to the Jets shocked Miller.
