New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams is quietly enjoying a great season amidst the team’s horrific defensive struggles.
Williams ranks fifth among IDL (interior defensive linemen) in sacks (5.0) and is tied for fourth in quarterback hits (11). His run-stop rate of 9.6% (14 run stops over 148 snaps against the run) ranks at the 81st percentile among qualified IDL.
The only IDL in the league who are ranked in the top-20% for run-stop rate as well as in the top-five for quarterback hits are Williams, DeForest Buckner, and Jeffery Simmons.
As strong as Williams’ numbers are, they should be much more impressive.
