  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. Williams led the Packers in total tackles once again in Week 7, bringing his season total up to 26 tackles. The 2024 fourth-round pick hasn't looked back since earning his first start in Week 5's win over the Rams, playing 100 percent of the Packers' defensive snaps in two of his last three games. Expect Williams to continue starting alongside Xavier McKinney in what now appears to be one of the best safety duos in the NFL.

• Packers' Evan Williams: Snared by Green Bay

  04/27/2024 • By RotoWire

  The Packers selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 111th overall. Williams comes from a good background for a defensive back, as he was coached by Dan Lanning at Oregon in his senior season. He's not a big-bodied safety at 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds and his long speed (4.6) will be tested by pass catchers. However, he's a smart player who plays with an edge and stuck his nose in on 82 tackles in 2023. The Packers drafted Georgia safety Javon Bullard on Day 2 so they're likely hoping that he's the one that takes the starting strong safety job, but Williams has the talent to find his way onto the field in some capacity.
