BYU football: NFL draft only a part of Jamaal Williams’ big week

Later that night, one of the most popular student-athletes in BYU history might take a peek at the NFL draft, which begins Thursday at 6 p.m. MDT in Philadelphia. Rounds 2 and 3 are Friday, beginning at 5 p.m. MDT, and rounds 4 through 7, where many expect Williams to be taken, begin at 10 a.m. MDT Saturday.

Williams said last month that he probably will spend the latter half of the draft at his mother's home in Fontana, Calif., hanging out with friends and family and playing video games to pass the time. He continually has said he isn't worried about which round he will go in, only that he goes to a team that really wants him.
