Pass rushers and cornerbacks have been the focal point of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ preparation for the 2023 NFL Draft and Syracuse defensive back Garrett Williams can be added to the list.
According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 in Houston, Williams has visited five teams including the Jaguars in the lead up to draft day.
Williams is a 5’10, 192-pound cornerback who suffered an ACL tear in October 2022. While the injury kept the Syracuse alum from participating in the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine and his pro day, he’s reportedly making good progress in his recovery.
Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke typically targets cornerbacks with more size and length than Williams, but there’s no arguing with his production on the field. In three years as a starter, Williams earned All-ACC nods three times.
Jacksonville has a rising star at cornerback in Tyson Campbell and may already have its starter on the other side in Darious Williams. However, depth at the position is thin after the team cut ties with Shaquill Griffin in March.
