"The First Thing You Need to Know: This Dude Lives in the Box Quincy Williams is not a coverage linebacker, and he never has been. He will not be floating around in space trying to run with slot receivers or carry tight ends down the seams. When you look at the snap data, it's not even debatable. He spent hundreds of snaps in the box, very few on the edge, only a handful in the slot, and almost none on the outside."
"What I like about Quincy Williams is simple: when he sees it, he goes. There's no dancing, no waiting for someone else to make the play. He triggers fast and shows up with bad intentions. Is he perfect? Absolutely not, but were any of the Cowboys linebackers last season even above average. He will miss a tackle here and there because of his aggressive play style, but I'll take that every day over a linebacker who catches blocks and gets pancaked."
Quincy Williams functions primarily as a box linebacker who rarely lines up on the edge, in the slot, or outside. Snap data shows heavy in-box deployment, making coverage metrics a poor measure of his value. Williams attacks downhill, triggers quickly, and consistently pursues the ball with aggression. He can play weak side, strong side, and take inside looks, operating as a flow-and-hunt defender who scrapes and chases. That aggression leads to occasional missed tackles but avoids being neutralized by blocks. Williams offers positional versatility inside the box but provides limited pass-rush and coverage upside.
