Jaguars linebacker Quincy Williams is ready for renewed role

When the Jaguars selected rookie linebacker Quincy Williams in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, many questioned why a team would select a small-school linebacker that wasn’t heavily scouted — not invited to the combine or senior bowl —, or well-known at all. However, entering the 2019 regular season, Williams showcased his talent to the Jaguars’ coaching staff earning the small-school prospect a shot at a starting role within one of the better defenses in the league.

Entering week five of the regular season Williams had accumulated 28 combined tackles — 18 solo — and a tackle-for-loss.
