I'm thinking the front office is not looking at Wilson as the future of the Giants ground game Williams, a 227-pounder, is a physical downhill runner who occasionally can turn the corner. "He's faster than you think at 227 pounds," draft analyst Mike Mayock said on NFL Network. The flipside? "He does not have natural hands," Mayock said. That's an understatement: Williams had zero receptions in '13 and just 10 in his four-season career. One anonymous NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel before the draft that Williams has the "Worst hands I've ever seen. I never even saw them pitch it to him. You would be crazy to pitch it to him. It's so bad, you feel bad for the kid." LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehugger Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Solid draft, and I'm really excited to see Beckham in McAdoo's system. As Jim already pointed out, He got amazing results with 'short' WRs like Cobb and Jones in GB. If Randle can be developed into the Jordy Nelson role we might have GB 2.0.
