Packers S Evan Williams was forced from Green Bay’s Week 14 game against the Lions with a concussion and will not return.
The rookie fourth-rounder has been operating as Green Bay’s No. 3 safety. He’s been earning strong marks from Pro Football Focus. Williams has 10 days to get cleared for Week 15 against the Seahawks.
Packers traded up with the Jets to select Oregon S Evan Williams with the No. 111 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
A bay area native with a mid three-star recruiting profile, Williams (5’11/206) initially enrolled at nearby Fresno State where he earned five starts as a true freshman despite enrolling in July 2019. He proceeded to become a fixture in the Bulldogs’ lineup for the next three years, recording 185 tackles and 11.0 TFL while receiving All-MWC recognition in each. Williams grad-transferred to Oregon for his final year and didn’t skip a beat despite the jump in competition. The Second Team All-Pac-12 safety led the Ducks with 82 tackles while wreaking havoc in blitz packages with 4.5 sacks. Oregon HC Dan Lanning split his reps pretty evenly across the formation, logging a career-high 165 slot snaps as opposed to his previous strong safety-heavy usage at Fresno State. Williams profiles as a hard-hitting enforcer who is ill-suited to carry receivers down the field and struggled to make plays on the ball at Oregon.
