When we drafted this guy, I thought we really had a true player on our hands. We heard about the off the field issues, and took a chance. No big deal. Kid is an athlete with talent, they said. A year and a half later to 2023 and pretty much nothing from Sam. Everyone is griping about Mazi Smith. But I've watched the tape, and he's doing what we need him to do: helping to stop the run. Mazi Smith never was going to be flashy...

Sam Williams was supposed to be mini-Micah..A versatile 3-4ish LB who fit DQ's scheme..

4.4 40 yard dash for a guy over 250.

The only problem?

He's been invisible, cept for the preseason fight where he took a cheap shot and punched his teammate in the back of the head. Or that time in preseason when the camera panned to him and he hammed it up, pretending to body slammed an invisible opponent.

Anyone else think Invisible Sam might be trade bait right now?

Not that he's done anything anyone would want to trade for... But I know one thing. He's not contributing to the team, and looks to be sort of a wasted roster spot in 2023.

I expected to see a jump from year one. Wanted to see more pressures and obviously some sacks. Still early in the season, but the light needs to turn on for Willams.

I wonder if it's just a maturity thing with him. Who knows. As a 2nd round pick, I need him to be pushing for a starting spot.

Williams is a stoner. It doesn't look good for him. Hopefully, they get lucky and he makes some more plays for them before he goes away like the stoners before him.

"Player A" is not performing as well as I want him to
Let's trade "Player A" to another team that surely wants him badly and will give up a lot to get him.

Nobody is trading for that headache, his issues are two fold, off the field and between the ears and has the same issues as Randy gregory, Can't trust him....

Was right there with you early with Sam, but now Sam is like green eggs and ham.

It sure seems that one of the biggest factors that determines if a player is going to be successful in the league is their emotional makeup and work ethic. Why GMs continue to waste premium picks on known headcases is beyond me.

I don't know what the issue is with him, but he is not as bad as some think. It could be he lacks motivation to get better.

You never know when he might turn t around. Randy Gregory looks pretty good in the too games he played for SF. Of course it took him 9 years to mature. Maybe Williams will grow up in a year or two.
