Dorian Williams probably best fits in a half-field scheme where he is allowed a specific assignment and can chase that down with relative ease. Williams is an exciting linebacker prospect who has flashed great ability at times, but the question with him will be whether he is a strong enough athlete to hold up to everything that he needs to.
