Was watching episode 2 of Hard Knocks last night and they had Derwin Williams (year 2 safety) mic'd up. He loves contact, dish out snot bubbles and make you pay coming across the middle of the field. Only 2 seasons under his belt and is already a form tackler.

Go low, head up, wrap up.
If it makes you feel any better, Williams was considered the best tackler on Utah's defense and opposing coaches called him one of the best tacklers in the Pac-12. He had some gaudy stat for least missed tackles in a season. His coach said you can run him over. (referring to his size) but he was gonna latch on to you and eventually pull you down.

More bulk could be exactly what he needs.

Not looking to feel better Utah Saint. Marcus needs to wrap up. This isn't lip service. Coach Payton and Glenn recently said this.

He's not playing in college anymore.
