Williams (5’10/190) took a redshirt in 2019 before starting every game he was healthy for over the next three seasons, receiving Freshman All-American recognition in 2020 with 64 tackles, 12 PBU and two interceptions. The three-time Honorable Mention All-ACC performer allowed a career 66.2% receiving catch rate and 100.6 NFL passer rating, which are sub-optimal marks. Though he’s on the shorter side for a boundary corner, Williams has advanced instincts and route recognition to go with smooth hips. Two of his four career interceptions came on plays where he read the quarterback’s eyes and broke off coverage to create an off-script turnover. Williams didn’t draw a single penalty in coverage over his last two seasons when he was limited to just 826 snaps due to multiple injuries, including a torn ACL in October that could hamper his availability in 2023. He can be muscled-off routes and allows a lot of underneath completions. Williams has size and injury red flags, but he’s very crafty, has special teams value, and doesn’t get beat deep a lot despite not being a track star.

Earlier today, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said Davis would be listed as questionable, but Davis ended up clearing the NFL’s concussion protocol this afternoon. Davis leads the team with 12 pass breakups this year. His return is good news for the Patriots’ defense.

Douglas is currently in his second stint with the Eagles’ front office. He previously served as the Eagles’ vice president of player personnel from 2016-2019 before taking the Jets’ vacant general manager position. He has been in his current role for one year.

Udinski, 30, completed his second interview with the Browns today. The young candidate piloted an offense that ranked top-12 in yards per pass play (7.15) during the regular season. He is also expected to interview for the Bills’ head-coaching vacancy.

Turner’s time with the Jets comes to a close after just one season. The Jets also fired QB coach Charles London, DL coach Eric Washington, LB coach Aaron Curry, defensive assistant Roosevelt Williams and defensive assistant Alonso Escalante.

Cowboys DL coach Aaron Whitecotton is “drawing interest” from the Titans as they search for a defensive coordinator under new head coach Robert Saleh. Rather than waiting to find out if Whitecotton leaves, the Cowboys are proactively starting their own search for his potential replacement. ESPN’s Todd Archer notes that Dixon coached the Broncos’ defensive line from 2022-2023, while new Cowboys DC Christian Parker coached Broncos defensive backs.

Tabor held the same role with the division-rival Bills in 2025. Before that, he served as the Panthers’ special teams coordinator from 2022-2023 and was promoted to interim head coach briefly during the latter season.

Smith signed on with the Falcons in 2021 as their vice president of player personnel. He was promoted to the assistant general manager role in 2023 and remained in that role until now. He opts for a lateral move to a new organization as the Falcons rework their front office under new president of football, Matt Ryan.

Cullen interviewed for the Commanders’ defensive coordinator vacancy earlier this month. The Chiefs’ defensive line generated pressure at a top-10 rate during the regular season (38.9 percent) and totaled 87 TFLs, tying for 15th.

This is Weaver’s second interview with the Steelers, and the first in-person. Dolphins is also a candidate for the Bills’ head-coaching vacancy and has been linked to the Giants’ defensive coordinator vacancy. He previously interviewed for the now-filled Ravens’ head-coaching role.

Wattenberg practiced fully all week, so he is seemingly on track to face the Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. Getting their stud center back on the field would be great news for the Broncos’ offense, particularly fill-in QB Jarrett Stidham.
