On Friday, the Baltimore Ravens jumped ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second round to pick the best tight end in this class, Maxx Williams. I haven’t spoken to anyone who doesn’t love this pick and I couldn’t agree more. Williams is a great all round tight end who has outstanding tape both as a blocker and a receiver, which makes him a versatile weapon for Marc Trestman to deploy.
There are plenty of good reasons to get excited about Williams, however it is important to take a step back for a second and assess how quickly he will be able to adapt to the NFL.
