Defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who may be picked by the Jaguars with the third pick in the draft Thursday night, thinks that is two spots too low for him.
“I feel like I should be taken No. 1,’’ he said in Chicago Wednesday following a “Play 60’’ promotional event according to nfl.com.
After defensive end Dante Fowler said he feels he’s the best defensive player in the draft, Williams said, “I respect his confidence.’’
“I feel like every player is going to have that type of confidence to do well at the next level, but at the same time I feel like I’m the best defensive player,’’ he said.
