Texas A&M's Brandon Williams drafted in 3rd round by Arizona Cardinals

The position change has paid off. Brandon Williams made the switch from offense to defense in 2015 under the tutelage of John Chavis, and now he'll join a couple of other former Chavis defensive backs, Tyrann Mathieu and Patrick Peterson, in Arizona.

Williams was a highly-touted running back from Houston Brookshire who signed with Oklahoma out of high school. He saw limited time as a freshman in 2011 before deciding to transfer to Texas A&M. He sat out the 2012 season per NCAA rules and spent the following two years in a bit role as part of an often-criticized running back rotation before moving to the secondary as a senior.
