PFF: Predicting every team's breakout player

Predicting every NFL team's 2020 breakout player

LOS ANGELES RAMS: CB DARIOUS WILLIAMS

Darious Williams could be the next great UDFA story in the NFL this year. He had hardly seen the field in his NFL career until the final three weeks of his second season in 2019. And in that stretch, Williams shattered expectations. He produced an 88.8 coverage grade, allowing only seven catches on 98 cover snaps while intercepting two passes and breaking up another two. I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again: We should always take small samples like that with a grain of salt.

A breakout isn’t guaranteed, but having those flashes certainly makes him a candidate in 2020. He reportedly lit up training camp by displaying that same playmaking ability. Williams should see significant time this year opposite of Jalen Ramsey, and he could possibly play in the slot when Troy Hill is on the outside. Similar to Chiefs cornerback Rashad Fenton mentioned above, Williams is an under-the-radar player to keep an eye on this year.
