Cowboys Land DT Quinnen Williams in Blockbuster Trade
25 Nov
Summary
- Cowboys acquired DT Quinnen Williams from Jets for draft picks.
- Williams leads linemen in grades, pressures, and pass-rush win rate.
- His presence has opened up opportunities for teammates like Odighizuwa.
In a significant move at the NFL trade deadline, the Dallas Cowboys have acquired defensive tackle Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets. This acquisition involved trading away future first and second-round draft picks, as well as current defensive tackle Mazi Smith. Williams, a highly regarded interior defender, has quickly made his presence felt since joining the Cowboys.
Since his arrival, the entire Dallas defense has shown marked improvement, with Williams being a primary catalyst. He is currently leading all defensive linemen in overall defensive grade, pressures, and pass-rush win rate. His individual statistics include five tackles, 1.5 sacks, and six quarterback hits in just two games with his new team.
Williams' impact extends beyond his own production, as his disruptive play draws significant attention from opposing offensive linemen. This has created more one-on-one matchups for his teammates, notably fellow defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, who has seen a surge in his own performance, tripling his sack total in the past two weeks.
