Jonathan Williams of East Carolina ~ 6.1/195
"A reserve running back on the ECU roster who gets most of his touches in the pass game and on special teams. Is a confident pass catcher out of the backfield who can adjust to the football well and looks comfortable when asked to pluck the ball off his frame. However, isn't a real dynamic athlete. Runs with a high pad level and doesn't have much shiftiness to his game.
Is patient inside when asked to run in tight areas and does a nice job allowing his blockers to set up. However, isn't real fluid or explosive in and out of his breaks. Keeps his feet under him and displays average footwork, but lacks a great initial burst once he gains a step and doesn't have any kind of second gear once he gets into the open field. Isn't going to make anyone miss or routinely break tackles in the NFL.
Has a number of character concerns as well and has been suspended multiple times from the ECU team due to various run-ins with the law.
Impression: His lacking athletic ability plus his character concerns keep him from getting into an NFL camp."

"Bio: Led East Carolina in rushing as a senior, posting 154/847/10 with 52/431/1 receiving. Played in six games as a junior before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Finished the year with 14/38 on the ground. Played in seven games as a sophomore then was suspended for the remainder of the season. Totals of that year included 75/380/5 on the ground.
Positive: Well-sized skill player who is effective carrying the ball or catching it out of the backfield. Picks and chooses his way on the inside, has some elusiveness, and flashes the ability to break tackles. Solid receiver out of the backfield and effectively adjusts to the errant throw. Looks the ball into his hands.
Negative: Possesses just an average burst and cannot run to daylight. Not a fluid cutback runner.
Analysis: Williams put together a terrific senior campaign after injury- and suspension-shortened seasons prior to '10. He looks like a potential third-down back/situational runner at the next level and has the skills to play in the NFL if he remains focused."
