Jason Williamson:
Strengths:
· Natural pass catcher. Can run all sorts of routes out of the backfield and is comfortable catching with his hands outside of his body.
· Balance: does not go down on first contact. Outstanding lower body strength to gain yards after contact.
· Feet: although a bigger guy, he shows the feet to hit cutback lanes and make defenders miss in the open field.
· Vision: identifies the opening running lane and feels flow of defenders in the second level.
Weaknesses:
· Not exceptionally quick. He is fast once he gets going, but not quick.
· Runs a bit upright.
Williamson is a bigger back (6’1”. 190 pounds) that has excellent feet and the ability to do multiple things at the running back position. He’s a smooth route runner that is a natural pass catcher. Jason possesses the lower body strength and balance to break arm tackles. He shows vision to be decisive in selecting a hole, and agile enough to hit the cutback lane.
Jason is more of a power back than he is an elusive back, but he does have great feet for a bigger guy. Not exceptionally quick, but fast when he gets going. Displays solid open field moves to make people miss. Gophers got a good one in Williamson who can do it all. Reminds me a bit of Kobe McCrary but I think he'll have the potential to do more than McCrary.
