NFL coordinator claims 49ers’ Williams has ‘no weakness’ in his game
“[He] does it all at a high level, still,” an NFL coordinator said. “Protection, run game, second-level stuff downfield — no weakness in his game and I haven’t seen the skill set diminish.”
This is the third consecutive year the 35-year-old tackle ranked No. 1 on the annual ESPN list.
And aside from his flat-out talent, his durability has been one of the most impressive things about Williams. Last season, Williams missed two games, and in 2022, he missed three.
“I thought he was playing hurt last year and it affected his play a bit,” an AFC executive said, referring to Williams’ ankle injury in the second half of the 2023 season.
