Time was right for Connor Williams to begin quest for the NFL | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Connor Williams said all the right things.

The University of Texas left tackle talked about being a “finisher” as an offensive lineman. He views himself as a tackle at the next level, but is open to moving inside. He spoke positively about the Longhorns’ football program and believes it’s heading in the right direction under Tom Herman.

The problem for Williams, though, is that his weigh-in and measurements created concern at the NFL Scouting Combine.

For a guy who is projected to go in the first-round and looks like a pass-blocking master on game film, NFL teams can be rigid in their stance of measurements and how it projects to the pro game.
