12/4/12 NFL DRAFT SCOUT FALLER: 1. Shawn Williams, SS, Georgia...The Bulldogs' defense has numerous players who will be starring on Sundays next season or in the near future, Williams included. But against Alabama, it wasn't a strong performance for the Georgia strong safety. He finished with nine tackles and was involved in several plays, but also left some production on the field and several times he went backwards when attempting to tackle Alabama s running backs Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon.[SIZE=-2]Williams showed good downhill speed when attacking the run, but he slowed his feet upon contact on several occasions and found himself caught out of position, making the tackle tougher. With near-linebacker size (6-1, 217), he has made some punishing hits over his career, but against the Crimson Tide, he played too hesitant at the point of attack.
[/SIZE]Williams called out the defense earlier this season for being too soft and he could have taken some of his own advice in this contest as he appeared to playing to not make mistakes instead of aggressively finishing plays. Williams still has top-100 potential for next April, but his performance in the SEC Championship Game won t help that cause.
