Every year, there is a guy or maybe a couple of guys who just seem to come out of nowhere and find themselves moving up the board in the NFL Draft. The Detroit Lions have drafted guys like that before. The big one you might remember was Ezekiel Ansah.
Ansah was not really on anyone’s radar until a really good Senior Bowl and a good NFL Combine. The next thing you know, he’s a top-five pick. More recently, it was Giovanni Manu. This guy just happened to be another player’s pro day, and half the league suddenly became super interested, and he winds up being a fourth-round pick.
This year, the guy who is rising up boards and doing it fast is Washington State receiver Kyle Williams. He has a lot of fans in the draft expert world right now, and some have him super high on their boards.
When you watch him, you can see what draft experts are seeing in him. He has tremendous burst and acceleration off the line and can separate pretty fast. You really see that 4.4 speed he showed at the combine.
