Hokie CB pro day sighting… Figure that the wire will be full of stories late tomorrow on Texas QB Vince Young’s workout later today. For some reason that wasn’t the case for Virginia Tech CB Jimmy Williams, a top 15 prospect who didn’t run at the Combine, whose on-campus workout late last week went virtually unreported. We finally tracked some news over at The Sporting News. The news, though, wasn’t all that great for Williams, who measured in at 6-2, 216 and ran the 40 in the mid-4.4s, but reportedly wasn’t all that impressive in some of the other physical skills. For example, Williams was only able to post a 33 inch vertical leap and pressed only 12 reps benching 225 pounds, while his times in the quickness and agility portion of the drills were average at best. Those times, in fact, re-inforce concerns among some scouts that Williams lacked the overall athleticism to play corner at the next level. Indeed, several teams have reportedly taken Williams right off their boards, at least as a CB. Williams will still get a long look as a safety, the position he played early in his career, but his overall pre-draft grade likely took a major hit.
