New Jets head coach Adam Gase likes Leonard Williams' pass disruption skills

INDIANAPOLIS – Leonard Williams hasn’t been the defensive difference maker he was expected to be. But new Jets coach Adam Gase is expecting big things from Williams this season.

Gase has studied Williams’ game even before he came to the Jets. As the Dolphins coach and offensive play-caller the past three years, Gase watched plenty of film of the Jets' defense.

He has spent some of the past month poring over film of each player. Gase said Williams will fit well in new defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ aggressive scheme.

“He was always very challenging for us to go against,” Gase said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week.
