Eric DeCosta on Brandon Williams: “We have to try to retain him”

Ever since the Baltimore Ravens drafted defensive tackle Brandon Williams in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Williams has become one of the best defensive tackles in all of pro football.

Coming out of small school Missouri Southern State, Williams was mostly known for walking on his hands coming into the draft. You can pretty much erase that label as he is now known for mauling opposing offensive linemen and stuffing the run. He does it with such joy, an awesome smile and personality, that it makes you root for him. Williams has been such a huge anchor on that defense for the last three seasons and he is now set for a big payday this offseason.
