Bryce Williams:
Strengths:
· Great feet. Doesn’t slow down at all with his cuts. He has these subtle little cuts like Shannon Brooks that don’t look like much, but throw off defenders
· Plays fast. It may sound obvious, but there are a lot of players who run a fast 40-yard dash that don’t play fast on the field. Bryce plays fast
· Vision. He showed consistent ability to hit cutback lanes and find the open running lane. Of the two running backs, he will be the home run hitter
Weaknesses:
· Not any pass-catching highlights or blocking, so unaware of his abilities in those areas
As a runner, there’s a lot to like about Bryce as a running back. I had a hard time finding weaknesses. He’s elusive, has excellent vision, and is a home run threat when he has the ball. I didn’t see him catch any passes or block, so those are areas that will have to be discovered. He also has pretty good size, listed at 6’0”. Nolan Edmonds may have a slight better chance to play early because he’s more physically ready, but I see no reason why Williams can’t be a solid Big Ten RB.
