Exactly what i was thinking when i read his scouting profile and checked his film.
Also to add to Anae comparison - he does not play special teams.
Only Anae dominated the Senior Bowl weekend and was drafted.

I don't see the Anae comparison.
I watched a lot of Anae's college game footage.
A high percentage of his pass rush wins were on inside moves.
- Either inside cut-backs, stunts or aligned inside.
Anae also played a lot of coverage.
- Some of his pass rush success was due to the OL not know when he was pass rushing and dropping.
Anae should definitely play as a 3-4 OLB.
My impression is that there was a coachability issue with Anae.
- He was known for his hobbies like cliff diving.
My impression is that Sam Williams' hobby is football.

I thought he did some good things, but the main thing that stuck out to me watching him is that he's not an NFL athlete. He's a 249 lb. edge defender that runs a 4.95 40 and both of those measurements show on tape.

K. I'm just saying I was watching BYU's QB run 8 times for 92 yards and his pursuit speed was a direct contributor to that stat line. He can't close in pursuit.
