Marcus Williams reminds you of Harper? How? Marcus is definitely a center fielder who made some extraordinary interceptions including turning the Vikings playoff game around...
Marcus Williams was the highest graded rookie safety and third highest safety his rookie year; not sure what happened last season, I'd question if scheme wise if Payton's Defensive Coordinator didn't get away from what worked...

He's no Lattimore but definitely an upgrade over Crawley & PJ Williams.
Let's see what energy he brings in 2019  .
That's not an excuse, but a solid fact to point out, and what leads to more optimism for me for what this defense can do...
Now if we see a regression as we saw in Marcus, Payton needs to have a "hey @sshole, keep it simple and fix this sh!t now" conversation with his defensive coordinator...
