It would be interesting to know how ones reaction time could affect or enhance a 40 time? A guy has a 3.8 40, but a terrible reaction time, compared to that 4.6 with great ball skills. The combine is a great tool to measure athletic ability, but there's obviously so much more to the big picture!

Nobody is a star after 6 games. Williams is still learning. What he has shown is what appears to be rare natural instinct for the ball and play.

That, not his off the charts athleticism, really made Woodson the (multi)generational player he was while he was here. It allowed Micah Hyde, a borderline athlete to become a top safety for years, had we only recognized it. Other than Nick Collins -which took 5 seasons—there are few Packers I could claim have had that level of instinct over 3 decades. That Williams is seriously suggesting he may have through his play is beyond exciting.

It’s very rare that you see that kind of natural feel on any team. Williams appears to have it. It’s frankly even more exciting when one thinks that we probably have 2 on this team that one can say have that, and both play safety. This safety tandem could become historically dominant based on instinct. Certainly we may never see 2 as gifted playing side-by-side on the Packers in generations.

Williams could well become a star. He’s not there yet and neither he nor fans need too much hyping in advance. Let him grow while being excited by the potential.

On the subject of young players blowing expectations out of the water, when are we going to see Emmanuel Wilson recognized as perhaps the biggest steal since Sam Shields or Tramon? A UDFA who averaged 6 yards per carry per injury as a rookie and every time he gets the ball just extends that. He makes yards, he’s got burst, he’s got hands and he’s shown up as the best blocker out of the backfield consistently all season so far. It’s not impossible that only injuries ensured we are benefitting from that not another team.

In the summer most thought he’d be cut. Right now I’d have no issue if he had to start. Were I writing a piece about an unheralded break out, that might be a good one.

I like McDuffie and Wilson. You win football games with players like them on your team. But they are back ups.

Good back ups that are pressed into starting roles in the new Pack Attack D because Cooper needed experience hampered by injury. Well, Cooper needs to be a full time starter now. And I believe his talent is best employed at "Mike".

Walker is making a ton of tackles...51 so far and on pace for 144 in season! Yet few impact plays. Admit this is surprising me as I believed he would soar in Hafley's defense being a disruptor. He may be miscast as the Mike because he remains a tic slow in his read and react. Would he be better receiving pre snap direction rather than giving it?

Hopper needs to be worked in too. Like Williams, he was consistent getting to the ball during preseason.

Yes!!
