Range, ball skills, can high point the ball and has a high football IQ. It's hard not to like Marcus Williams.

God it's been so long since we've had a ball hawk. How many tens of millions of dollars have we spent on free safeties over the years trying to get some damn interceptions?!

Sharper for a season. But before that? Sammy Knight?

To my recollection, Sammy wasn't really a ballhawk either. He hit like a freight train and definitely was a playmaker but I don't remember him being a ballhawk.

Well, I would disagree, he only had less than 5 INTs in a season once for us. 42 INT total in his career. His production in that department dropped once he left the Saints.

I think all our rookies look good. Might be best draft class in a while

Should have gone with Barnett but other than that we got some that are going to stick. My measuring stick is normally two but I think we may have 3-4 that are going to be around a while.
