6th Round Pick: Rodarius Williams, Cornerback, Oklahoma State University

Chances of Starting Week 1: 5%

Similar to Brightwell, Williams shouldn’t be counted on to start Week 1. He will need to see far more NFL reps in limited capacities before throwing him right into the fire week one against an explosive offense.

With James Bradberry, Adoree’ Jackson, Holmes, and Robinson, Williams isn’t even a lock to make the roster. He is older than most rookies which could make him better suited to be on the practice squad in 2021. He is a fringe roster candidate who will need to fight and claw for every snap and every rep in August.
