Quinnen Williams turns Cowboys defensive line from weakness to strength
"People are already debating the value of the trade, and that's fair, but the fact remains that Williams is one of one. He's been one of the most impactful interior defenders in the league since turning pro, making plays as both a pass rusher and run stuffer. Since entering the league, Williams has posted at least 25 run stops in all but his rookie year; he's already at 25 stops this season,"
"Williams is having a down year as a pass rusher, though that's partially due to scheme changes. That said, he's topped 35 pressures in every year after his rookie season, and hit 50+ pressures each of the last three years. He also has 45 sacks in his career, and has been producing elite numbers despite being double-teamed at one of the highest rates for a defensive tackle."
Quinnen Williams was traded to the Dallas Cowboys in a deal that included Mazi Smith. Williams has been an elite interior defender, producing both as a pass rusher and run stuffer. Since entering the league he has recorded at least 25 run stops in all but his rookie season and currently leads the league with 25 stops this year; his average depth of tackle (0.4 yard) ranks third. Williams has exceeded 35 pressures in every season after his rookie year and totaled 50-plus pressures in each of the last three years, with 45 career sacks. He often draws heavy double teams and elevates teammates by commanding attention up the middle. Dallas’ pressure rate has risen to 43.6% over the last four weeks, ranking seventh, after being 19th through the first five weeks; Jadeveon Clowney’s 16.9% pass-rush win rate has been a leading factor.
