McTelvin Agim, IDL, Arkansas
If there was one player who stood above the rest in any of the pre-draft events so far it would be this guy for me. Agim is a former five-star prospect and top-20 recruit for the Razorbacks, but he never lived up to that billing, as part of a program that went 8-28 over the last three years. While he did put up some pretty strong numbers over his four years in college (31 TFLs, 14.5 sacks and six forced fumbles), it took until practice time in St. Petersburg for me to see the level he is capable of playing at. Agim was pretty much unblockable throughout practices, throwing a devastating initial club to get blockers off balance and collecting several instant wins with quick swim-moves. If you allow this guy to get to one shoulder and rip through, you can only hope that he can be pushed beyond the arc. The lasting picture I have of the former Arkansas D-tackle from East-West Shrine week is him getting a step past his blockers and that guy trying for dear life to somehow hold onto him.

If it wasn’t for Agim just wrecking shop down in St. Petersburg, Williams would have been the guy everybody was talking about. He just bulldozed a couple of guys back into the quarterback’s lap during one-on-ones and then has this quick spin that is almost unfair for a D-tackle. In addition to that he has a pretty strong club-swim counter to cross the blocker’s face. Williams showcased the quickness and short-area burst to be on the inside shoulder of the blocker on zone run plays and still back-door that guy to flatten to the running back, while also having the base strength to hold his ground at the point of attack. If there is one thing that I saw from him during team period and that also was apparent watching him film then it’s when he is on the backside of run-plays and has somebody down-block on him with a puller coming behind that block, Williams is content with holding his ground instead of fighting through and follow towards the ball-carrier. But other than that, nobody wanted to see him line up against them.
