Drafted in the seventh round of the 2017 NFL Draft, Marquez Williams wasn’t someone who immediately caught the attention of the NFL world. Seventh rounders rarely do.
But his impact will far outweigh his draft position.
In writing about value draft picks for each NFL team following the 2017 NFL Draft, Sayre Bedinger of NFL Mocks noted that Williams will be the Jags’ best value. Writes Bedinger:
Williams won’t carry the ball a ton, and he may not even catch a lot of passes, but this is the type of player whose impact will be made known in an offense when the Jaguars are wearing teams out with their running game.
