Tim Williams example of wasted potential for Baltimore Ravens
As has been the story for many Baltimore Ravens draft picks, Tim Williams is another classic example of potential completely wasted.
Tim Williams may be the most polarizing player I can remember the Baltimore Ravens drafting in quite some time. Williams had Lawrence Taylor upside per one of his coaches, and I believed in him to become a monster. Instead, he burned out faster than a small candle you use for ambiance.

What happened to this undeniably gifted and talented pass rusher? It’s very simple: he didn’t want to be the best.
Tim Williams consistently settled for subpar when he should’ve been shooting for the stars. Williams was a monster at Alabama during his final two seasons. In his junior and senior seasons, Williams racked up 18.5 sacks and 27.5 TFLs. His main questions lingered off the field, although that never seemed to be an issue at the pro-level.
To his defense, Tim Williams seemed to constantly be beat-up and never quite healthy. Unfortunately, that excuse only lasts for so long. When he was on the field, all that he would give you was glimpses of potential. Instead of harnessing that upside, Williams was always a flash in the pan.
For someone who was so athletically gifted, to see him burn out so quickly is jaw-dropping. The worst part is he will likely struggle to stay with any other NFL teams. Truth be told, he’ll be lucky to get tryouts based off his track record.

This happens all too often in the NFL, but the Baltimore Ravens have missed a lot on the day two picks for years now. Tim Williams is just another example of that kind of wasted opportunity, and one more reason that the Ravens have been so mediocre as of late.
