CB Rodarius Williams
May 1, 2021
Q: Hey Rodarius, congratulations. So you're actually Greedy Williams older brother, but he got to the NFL two years first.
A: Yes sir.
Q: What's that like when you're the older brother and he's there first? Are you thirsty to get there? Now, what's that moment like?
A: It's just a humbling moment, man. Everything that he felt on his day, I feel. I'm just ready to get in and get the work done.
Q: What has he told you about NFL life?
A: Stay healthy, stay on top of things and don't get in any trouble.
Q: Hey Rodarius, congratulations. Can you describe your game a little bit? And also, a lot of guys down at the lower part of the draft have a lot of special teams value. Are you one of those kinds of guys?
A: I wasn't a big special teamer, but I did play special teams. I'm coming from a four-year starting experience, so whatever needs be I'll adjust. Whatever you guys need of me is what I'm going to do.
Q: What kind of player are you? How would you describe yourself? Obviously, you're very durable. You play all the time.
A: I'd say durable like you mentioned and definitely high confidence in myself. I believe that I will go down as one of the greats.
Q: Hey Rodarius, congratulations man. You're 24 years old if I read correctly. That's usually on the older side, so I'm wondering what that was like throughout the process and how much teams harped on that or you heard that or you had to fight that perception of, 'Hey, you're already old or older,' I should say.
A: I've never had any run-ins or anything as far as things like that. My coaches used to tell me, if you could play, you could play, regardless of age. Teams definitely can see my durability. I don't miss too many games. I don't miss too many practices. I'm a guy that's going to show up to work.
Q: Hey Rodarius, did you speak with the Giants at the Senior Bowl and what was your impression of them when you had conversations with them?
A: Oh we had a great talk. They were one of the teams that showed a lot of interest in me when we had meetings and stuff like that, drawing up plays and stuff like that. I was just showing them my knowledge of the game. They really took a lot of interest in me and I'm just – I’m not really shocked that you guys picked me. I kind of had expectations to go to the Giants leading up to the Draft.
Q: Yeah, so I was going to say, when you left your meetings with the Giants, did you say in your head, 'I think this team might try and draft me'? Was that in your head right away?
A: Yes, most definitely. I was like, 'This is going to be one of the teams that definitely gives me a call.
A: Stay healthy, stay on top of things and don't get in any trouble.
