Although Josh Williams Josh Williams LB Linden | 2026 NJ is listed on his Hudl page as a linebacker, this may be due to roster attrition because last fall it appears that Williams played with his hand in the dirt. Film shows us that Williams has a very good get off, often appearing to bum rush linemen before they even have an opportunity to move his feet. That said, he does have a tendency to get through the line a bit out of control, as if he is barreling into the backfield. However, he is athletic enough to recover and even get up off the ground quickly in order to make tackles. Aside from his strong get off, Williams’ is also exceptional as a backside chaser from a 4i. Often beating the back- or cut-off block to protect pulling guards, Williams’ quickness also him to play in the hip pocket of those pullers. Also on tape, we see that if he does get cut off, Williams has the presence of mind to bench press the offensive lineman off of him and cross face to the play.
