New York Jets 2019: Ranking the 53-man roster — #50 Quinnen Williams

The New York Jets’ third overall pick in the 2019 draft may one day live up to his potential as the next Mean Joe Greene.

In the meantime, the “can’t miss” Alabama prospect feels like the next in an ignominious line of Jets’ bust D-line lottery picks, be it Dewayne Robertson, Vernon Gholston or Quinton Coples.

The younger brother of Jaguars linebacker Quincy Williams has learned from the very best: in college under Nick Saban and now with Gregg Williams.

Yet in his rookie season, Quinnen stands on the sidelines behind lunchpail overachievers like Kyle Phillips, Nathan Shepherd, Folorunso Fatukasi, Henry Anderson, and Steve McLendon.
