8. Sylvester Williams, DT
Grade: 3.4
Sylvester Williams faced a make-or-break year with the Broncos as one of the lone remaining players from John Elway’s dreadful 2013 NFL Draft class, and he has responded. He has a run defense grade of 3.0 so far and has shown off some of that elite explosiveness and quickness off the snap we saw coming out of North Carolina.
Across the NFL landscape, defensive tackles are playing some really great football, and Williams right now is holding his own. He has 4 stops, 2 QB hurries, and a QB hit through the first 3 games.
