NFL Draft 2013: Sylvester Williams prospect profile

Posted Jan 31, 2013
The 2013 NFL Draft is stocked with high profile defensive linemen, so North Carolina's Sylvester Williams has been lost in the shuffle to an extent. However, the 6'3, 320-pounder from Jefferson City, MO has the potential to be a major contributor at the NFL level. Williams had 42 tackles, 13.5 tackles for a loss and six sacks in 2012, and is coming off a very positive week of practice at the Senior Bowl. (SB Nation)
