Maxx Williams NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Ravens' Round 2 Pick

STRENGTHS
A redshirt sophomore with an NFL pedigree (his dad played for the Giants, his grandfather for the Bears), Maxx Williams is the clear-cut top tight end in this class. He’s a plus-level athlete in terms of speed, strength and agility and displays the total skill set to get open and produce in the NFL. Williams has clean hands and looks the ball into his frame without hesitation or double-clutching. Williams has the speed to run away from coverage and is slippery after the catch. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and doesn’t back down from a challenge. He has enough speed and agility to attack the middle of the field and plays with enough strength to stand his ground in traffic with linebackers and safeties. Motor will never be a concern for Williams.

WEAKNESSES
Williams may be limited when it comes to scheme or role, as he’s a move tight end only and not an in-line blocker. Williams is raw and largely inexperienced, playing in just 25 games in college. He’s not yet a great route-runner and made a living with zone routes in college. He has to learn body control when breaking off his routes. At this stage, Williams is a very limited blocker. Two NFL team sources told us Williams did not interview well, saying he came off as a “cocky, bored kid who seemed too good for us.”
