DJ Williams looks like a guy who's going to forge a nice career for himself. MIND you: He's a weak lead Blocker, which punches an hole in the middle of his credentials as a potential Wing Back. Wing Backs need to be able to Seal the Edge, and you do not want to run behind this man. But he does work well with others, and gives a good effort down field on the second level. But he's simply not strong enough or big enough to be a Wing Back.
As a Wing End, however ~ my term for a Wing Back who's main job is to catch the ball ~ he has tremendous potential. He's not the crispest Navigator, but he commands exceptional Burst, Liquidity, and Speed. And that combination makes him very dangerous, indeed.
Wing Ends ~ Tight Ends who can stretch the Defense, Work the Field, are tough as hell to bring down, and can toss in a decent block or two ~ are starting to change the face of the game. And a team that has one or two of the best of them in their arsenal will seize an exceptional advantage.
Beast!!

Rob Housler is raw as hell, but has intriguing UpSide. MIND you: He's a God Awful Blocker, so, despite his size, he simply isn't likely to make it as a Wing Back. And as a Receiver, he's got a ways to go, both as a Navigator and, frankly, as a catcher of FootBalls.
Nevertheless, he has EXPLOSIVE Speed, which gives him a shot at Wing End. But he's a Project, and a risky one.
And I think his Stock's gotten overly hyped, because of his work at The Combine.
Over Rated.

Virgil Green offers excellent Speed, but not much else: He doesn't have much Launch Speed off the Line, despite a great Vertical at the Combine, and he's a bad Navigator.
As a Blocker, he's considerably worse.
Wing Back is certainly out, and even as a Wing End ~ my term for a Tight End who line ups all over the Line, but spends most of his time running routes ~ he strikes me as a long shot. Now, if a team is willing AND able, he seems to have enough raw athletic skills to make something out of himself. But his sloppy Navigation discourages me from thinking he will. I'd grade him as a Late Round Project type, but his work at The Combine has inflated his Stock Price WAY beyond his worth, in my view.
BUST.

Mike McNeil offers very little to write home about as a Blocker. At his size, Wing Back is absolutely out of the question as a career choice.
However, as a Wing End ~ my term for a Tight End who does a lot more Receiving than Blocking ~ he commands an outstanding set of skills: nothing special in his Launch Speed, but his Navigation is excellent, his Instincts are great, and his Hands are terrific. He could be a very effective weapon, as long as he's not asked to block too often.
Win!!
