10. Javonte Williams, North Carolina
The skinny: Williams picked up an offer from North Carolina, his only one from an FBS school, during an official visit to campus in December. He was mainly recruited as a defensive back prior to his senior season, which is when he played running back for the first time. Williams, who recently entered the 2021 NFL Draft, averaged 7.3 yards per carry this fall, rushing for 1,130 yards and 19 touchdowns. He also added 305 yards and three touchdowns through the air.
Farrell’s take: Williams was a two-star safety out of high school, but he should have been a three-star running back after his Shrine Bowl appearance. Either way, he’s played well beyond any rating we would have had and is a potential first-round NFL Draft pick .
