The PFF (Pro Football Focus) came up with the top 32 NFL prospects in the PFF college era (since 2014) and 7 Alabama players were named to the list, which is the most of any other university.
Here are the players listed in the rank they appear, as well as what the PFF had to say about each individual player.
8. DL, QUINNEN WILLIAMS, ALABAMA (2019)
“Up until Chase Young this past year, Quinnen Williams owned the best PFF grade we have ever given out in a single season on the defensive side of the ball with his 2018 campaign that resulted in a 96.0 overall grade. The fact he saw only 151 snaps in his collegiate career prior to that makes it even more impressive. Regardless of the play call, Williams was elite and remained the best at his position by posting a 96.5 run-defense grade and 92.5 pass-rush grade. He was an absolute bully when playing 3-tech or heads-up nose and one of just three players to post elite grades at both alignments. His 0.84 WAA that year is the best we have ever seen at the position (0.60 is second) and it’s hard imagining anyone will break that any time soon.”
