PrintLook at Williams' Scouting Report from:
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1256306
Rd 3 - #5(69) Jason Williams (OLB) W Illinois
Height 6-1
Weight 241
Ranked 7th among OLB in draft
Projected Round 2-3
Williams was a terror in opposing backfields since shifting to weak-side linebacker from strong safety as a sophomore. In each of his last three seasons, he ranked among the nation's leaders in forced fumbles and tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
He has the quickness of a safety dropping back in zone coverage and is an above-average player in the open field with suddenness to close. He is a quick study taking plays from the chalkboard to the field. He prepares well and understands assignments.
Williams is a blue-chip prospect with a blue-collar work ethic. He is a self-starter who puts in the extra hours in the weight room and film room. He has no known off-field issues. Williams plays to the whistle. Williams is a solid wrap-up tackler.
Compares To: JAMES HARRISON, Pittsburgh -- This is high praise for an unknown player, but the more film scouts watch on Williams, the more they will notice he has the "it" factor.
It looks like he fits the bill for:
1) hard working, tough players
2) football smarts
How awesome would it be if he turns out to be another James Harrison?

Not the best video....
..but from what I gather, he’ll be a good pass rusher.

Hooah.
Harrison played dirty?
I only once saw him conduct himself poorly in a game, and that was in the Superbowl, and I’ll be willing to bet he was provoked.
I could be wrong. I only recently started paying attention to Harrison, since my roommate’s a Steelers fan(I know…it’s awkward come football season).
Epic Fail since 1985

the only difference is that
with us, I think he’ll play outside as opposed to Harrison.
In Romo we Trust
Just hope he's like the recent Harrison...
…and not the one that got cut multiple times by Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
A comparison to James Harrison is always good
I wonder why we’re moving him inside, if he provides that much play making potential. A Harrison-clone and Ware at OLB? Good night, that’s an exciting though.
