Greedy Williams no team visits

Tweet from @RapSheet: A rarity: #LSU CB Greedy Williams has had no visits and it appears no private workouts, either. Some dinners and meetings, but that’s all. It’s not good, it’s not bad. It’s just rare. Only other player I can remember like this was Tyler Eifert, who had no questions coming out.


I find this so weird. Especially since I've read LSU was basically playing with 10 men on run defense. I'd have thought teams have questions about a guy who doesn't even attempt to make tackles.

I guess that's a possibility. I know if I was a GM I'd have questions for him about his tackling.
Very interesting

Wonder what the Giants think of him. Onetime claimed Giants would be all over him at 17.
He's soft as baby

💩. This whole CB class is really. Still this is pretty surprising

Onetime got outed as a fraud.
If you don't tackle,

you're not playing for the Giants.

Jerrah's probably salivating though. Stephen's gonna have to yank his coattails to keep him in his seat.
Shiny object.

I hope that we draft him. He has elite cover skills.

If I were a GM, I'd trust the tape as opposed to an interview.

Sadly, Jerruh doesn't do the drafting in Dallas anymore.

Many just point to his unwillingness to tackle as reason that he is trash. But he has the ability to shut down #1 WRs in man-to-man. He literally takes away half the field while making QBs look silly when they try to throw his way. He is DRC in his prime.

Really? The known fake insider?
Apple didn't tackle in college either

but he did tackle well for the Giants.

Was gonna say...

Cornbacks have always been more prone to making "business decisions" as Prime would put it (not all of course, some tough SOBs over the years). Part of it is their smaller size and part of it is selection-bias (if you liked hitting more why wouldn't you be a safety or linebacker?) I could see if you're about to get a nice fat paycheck from the NFL, you might be less inclined to risk your health by throwing your 160 lb frame at a massive steamrolling SEC RB while LSU is not paying you a dime for your services. Some believe there's a possibility he will become a more "willing" tackler when he moves to the professional level.

That said, I will say tackling and hitting in general in football is an more natural instinctive thing... if you don't have that mean streak in you or that disregard for your body's well-being then you simply don't have it. And maybe Greedy doesn't.

I guess some team will find out.

FWIW, I don't think he looked all that at impressive

at the combine drills IIRC
I heard  
Jim Bur(n)t : 4/12/2019 5:57 pm : link
Tyler Eifert didn't have any either his yr... Barring his injury habit, that dude is a stud.
Brings back memories...  
Brown_Hornet : 4/12/2019 7:37 pm : link
...of Dave Brown reminding Prime to make a business decision...
Cowboys not interested in Greedy  
Rick in Dallas : 4/13/2019 5:47 am : link
BTW, Jerry has handed off draft responsibilities to his son and Will McClay who is the real evaluator of draft prospects.
Greedy was so so bad at the combine  
jpkmets : 4/13/2019 6:01 am : link
Scary bad. Deion broke down his complete lack of fundamentals. I’d really want nothing to do with him.
