I went back and watched his highlights from this season. Future is bright. He is a load as an edge-setter and inside rusher. Incredibly violent. Needs to work on his get-off, though. He's often the last DL to move after the ball is snapped.

This. Guy is definitely very violent & can throw guys around with ease. Excited for his future

Future star.

Stars get sacks...

It's a bit unrealistic to expect a guy that missed almost half of his rookie season and offseason due to an ACL tear to make a big jump.

Amazing how quick some fans are to say a player is a stud or a bust. Everyone should know that you can't judge a player on one season. Some colllege players just take longer to adjust. Williams came out after his junior year. They drafted him for his versatility and primarily for his run stopping. They also felt he could eventually become a decent pass rusher. He was improving every week even while he was being moved around the line.

I don't know if he'll ever be a top D lineman but at least give him a fair shot. We live in a world where everyone wants instant gratification and success.

You would think they would cut him some slack since Armstead took years to develop into the monster he became. He was so bad in his first year that we drafted Solomon Thomas as his replacement

Part of me thinks we were using him wrong, playing him inside and out. I wish they would let him concentrate on RE and stop moving him around. Let him work on stunts and pass rush moves from the outside.
