Undersized????

Well he looks small compared to the rest of the d-linemen, and 250 pounds isn't really all that big for a DE (Heyward, Rose and Wilson are all above 275). You gotta love his speed off the edge though

Weight isn't always important at DE. I'd rather have someone pretty big who can get off the edge really quick and just burn the tackles than someone who is a big brute and needs to rely on strength to get to the QB.
Nate Williams is a beast, give that man more playing time.

Yes, we will be "SEC-like" with our speed!!!
Seriously, we will be fast but more importantly Nate and the others all seem to have a great NASTY attitude.
Anyone have any OSU-USC tickets to sell?? |

He reminds me of David Pollack, undersized All-American DE at Georgia.
