We haven't signed him yet? There must be teams out there looking for an underachieving, overwieght safety.
Another reason to be very careful drafting players. There are some, and this one appears to be one, who get their signing bonus and then "retire". Sullivan was a good example. This guy has Sullivan written all over him and I doubt if the Patriots make that mistake again.

I wouldn't declare Sullivan a Patriot mistake, but that's just my way of looking at a guy who was brought in on a flier for a player who was just as useless. I don't think anyone realistically expected much from him.
Talent gets you a lot of second chances. I don't know if Williams is talented enough to warrant a second chance, but Sullivan is only relevant in that he was given that chance. I would bank on Williams also having to inspire more confidence in the coaching staff than Sullivan did because of the harder player limit and the fact that most of the training camp roster is all set.

He's supposedly slow for a CB, Virginia Tech must have a fast track because his pro day numbers :
20 yard shuttle 4.14
3 cone 6.69
are pretty good.
At the combine, Wheatley posted a 4.20, 6.74 respectively and Wilhite was 4.41, 7.17 at his pro day. In fact the 6.69 3 cone would have been the best in this past year's CB draft (of the ones NFL Draft Scout has listed) as Wheatley was tied with DRC for the best.
Va Tech is infamous for having low speed timings. The high school kids they bring in miraculously drop their times significantly within a couple of months of showing up on campus.
Plus, he's a classic bad character guy coming out of that school. There's a lot to lose by signing people like this.
Jonathan Sullivan DT GA, drafted 6th over all by NO. Once he signed his contract and got his bonus he turned into his own Krispy Kreme. Then 3 years later NO traded him to us and we cut him.
We hoped that Seymour could motivate to keep him away keep away from the danish buffets and get to where he was in college. Didn't work.
Aah yes. Johnny, we hardly knew ye. The trading of our '03 draft mistake for the Saints' mistake. I just don't understand what someone like JS was thinking, when he could have made the team as Wilfork's backup. Jimmy Williams is probably cut from the same cloth, and unless he has some epiphany, will end his career in the same manner. Pity.

One thing I didn't miss the past few months is a thread like this one, where a high draft pick (or, say, a "bad seed") gets released and so people get all giddy about the prospect of Belichick and/or "the locker room" turning someone else's ***** into New England-flavored shinola.
