Despite his troubling performance versus the run, Williams' pass-rush flashes tend to leave a more lasting impression. He was often overmatched and pummeled at the point of attack, failing to play with the effort and grit needed to stand up to SEC linemen. As a rusher, he gets off the ball quickly and attacks the pocket with the bend and hand work to gain entry into the backfield from a variety of angles. He projects as a potentially dangerous sub-package rusher who will need to get stronger and more competitive against the run if he wants to be considered for early down snaps.
With Tisdale's size, length and athletic testing, it would not be a surprise to see a team or two fall in love with his upside. However, he's not very instinctive or physical at the point of attack and lacks consistency, which could prevent him from ever fully realizing his potential. He has range and can make plays in the run game but his rush is far too basic and unproductive. The traits are appealing but Tisdale could require an extended runway on a practice squad for further development.
