Duke Williams

WR · Auburn
A JUCO transfer, Williams arrived at Auburn in 2014 and led the Tigers in catches (45) and receiving scores (5) despite missing three games due to injury. However, he routinely rubbed coaches the wrong way and his inconsistent effort on and off the field led to his dismissal in October.

williams didn't look like a first round pick on 2014 tape, but many scouts graded him as the top senior receiver over the summer. however, he might find himself undrafted or a late rounder at best unless he makes some changes.

strengths

Natural tools are encouraging. Lining up mostly inside in Auburn's offense, Williams is a good-sized target with long-striding speed to accelerate quickly into his routes, displaying hesitation with his footwork at the top of his patterns. He is best on stick and stop routes.

williams found himself in the dog house during preseason practices and his lackadaisical route-running has nfl scouts worried about his passion and commitment, failing to lift up the offense while his teammates struggled prior to his dismissal from the program.

IN OUR VIEW

weaknesses

Like Sammie Coates, he is raw in several areas. He doesn't consistently play up to his size and often misjudges his highpointing jumps when attacking the ball.
