Meanwhile, Quincy waited until the next night when he went in the third round to Jacksonville. He was a 5-11, 230-pound lesser-known linebacker at Murray State. ”When I first got drafted, the thing was, who is Quincy Williams?” he recalled Friday. ”And everybody was like, ‘Oh, that’s Quinnen who played for Alabama’s brother.
So most people would take it as like, `I’m a person, I’m a person,’ and just be mad about it. ”That’s the realest thing, so I use it as like ammunition, for real.” But then I just put that as a chip on my shoulder like I had to make a name for myself. While Quinnen is a space-eating run stuffer who shoves offensive linemen aside on his way to taking down quarterbacks, Quincy is a heat-seeking missile who slams into anyone trying to get past him. 1 thing is just running through people,” said a smiling Quincy Williams, who ranks second to C.J. And at first, it’s like the crowd `ooohs.’ I love that.

He started in place of Jarrad Davis last week and had 15 total tackles in New York’s 24-17 loss to Miami, the most for a Jets player since David Harris had 17 in 2009. ”One of his superpowers is speed,” coach Robert Saleh said. He has the luxury of taking a step before triggering because whatever he lost at the snap, he can regain because he’s so fast and long.” ”He’s one of the faster linebackers in football, if you just look at his GPS numbers. Jets defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich remembers scouting Williams at Murray State leading up to the draft and loving what he saw. ”I fought hard to try to get him in Atlanta and for us to draft him,” Ulbrich recalled. Spent a day with him, worked him out, the whole deal.
He’s got obviously the athleticism, the explosiveness, the speed and all of that. He’s also got instincts that are really rare.
