Marcus Williams, FS, Ravens (Trending Up)
Marcus Williams, the Ravens’ marquee free-agent signing this year, has continued to impress. In two varieties, the Ravens’ safety has appeared in this article two times. This is essential to the Ravens, as the pass coverage broke down in the fourth quarter of Week 2.
Williams, 26, led the team in tackles with 10. In addition to that, Williams had two very essential interceptions. These interceptions helped establish the Ravens’ early dominance and give the offense advantages.
The way that Williams carries himself early is encouraging. A player with emotion and fire is someone the Ravens will oft rely on in a playoff push.
The former New Orleans Saints safety has impressed repeatedly, and even in failure, has been seen talking with the young players in the secondary. A leader who has experienced success and failure is great for the locker room.
In addition to the impact of his voice, his presence on the field should not be disrespected. Quarterbacks are going to begin to need to know where he is on the field every play. He has an Ed Reed-like presence on the back end of the defense with how much ground he can cover.
