The Jacksonville Jaguars have selected Murray State linebacker Quincy Williams in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Williams is the younger brother of No. 3 overall pick Quincy Williams, but didn’t have quite the growth spurt. Williams is listed as 5’10” and 240 pounds on the Murray State athletics website and the Jaguars announced him to the media as a linebacker/safety.
So #Jaguars are officially listing Quincy Williams as a 5-foot-10, 239-pound linebacker.

It will be interesting to see how the Jaguars end up using Williams, who perhaps could be a kind of rover on certain downs or maybe they just end up sticking him as a safety. He ran a 4.56 in the 40-yard dash at his pro day, which would kind of slot him in as a weakside linebacker or a strong safety.
Welcome to #DUUUVAL, Quincy Williams!

The 5-11, 225-pound LB ran a 4.56 in the 40-yard dash and posted 111 tackles (78 solo) in 2018.
Has the traits and potential to be a great special teams player.
Also — fun fact — he’s Quinnen Williams’ older brother.
