Dorian Williams

In addition to A.J. Klein, another linebacker that is worth watching is rookie Dorian Williams. He was a third round pick by the Buffalo Bills out of Tulane and is very athletic but might be facing more of a learning curve at this point of his career.

Williams has primarily been playing weakside linebacker through training camp and in the first preseason game. That first game though was impressive for the rookie as he led the team in tackles with seven and was moving well and covering a lot of ground quickly.

It is worth noting in this game not only how well Dorian Williams plays but where does he play? Do the Buffalo Bills coaching staff revisit Williams playing middle linebacker? I am not so sure they do with how much McDermott talked about that role being responsible for leading the defense. However, they may change up the plan and let Matt Milano wear the green dot if it means getting Dorian Williams on the field.
