Well, it seems every NFL scout on the planet has no issues with his size or weight. So, there's that.......

Walter Football lists Williams as a round 1-2 pick, meaning he could go in the second.

And "every" scout has no issues with his weight?

Per Walter Football :
The biggest concern regarding Williams entering his redshirt sophomore season is his weight. He is extremely thin-framed, and that is an issue that could weigh down his draft grade if he is unable to pack on more pounds leading up to his draft. Being so skinny is going to cause a lot of teams to have durability concerns because a lot of thin-framed cornerbacks have a hard time avoiding injuries in professional football. Big, strong pro receivers could also have success out-muscling him and pushing him around. Adding weight is vital for Williams.

From Inside the Pylon:
Weight – It’s not hard to notice. Williams has a rail-thin frame and it will be one that he needs to put weight on. With the physical nature of receivers at the next level and with him being so competitive at the line of scrimmage, it would not be surprising to see him struggle some because of his lack of strength and muscle mass throughout his body.

I'm not saying he won't make it in the NFL due to his size, people questioned Darren Sproles, Tyrann Mathieu and others due to their physical size, and they did fine (though Matheiu has had injuries).

But you evaluate a player for every attribute. If you don't think he's thin by NFL standards, and would pick him in the top 10, fine, that's your opinion.

But if it was up to me, I'd be at least somewhat concerned.

Oh, and Michael Irvin's college draft profile showed him at 6-2 and 205 lbs, so he was already good sized for the NFL...
