This kid has incredible athleticism and has decent size to build upon, 6-1 241 lbs. If he came to the Pats I'd expect them to try him out at ILB. There's been a lot of buzz on Williams lately, and he's a guy I could see in round 3 coming in and upgrading the team's speed on defense. Here are some links to get the info rolling.

OLB, Jason Williams, WesternIllinois - Mile High Report
Patterson employs a 3-5 scheme where he lined up Williams in a variety of different positions. He would line up above a tackle, off the edge, or in a stunt in an A or B gap, a center guard gap, or a guard/tackle gap. Patterson sees Williams' transition to the next level as an edge rusher standing up, or an OLB in a 3-4 alignment as a pass defender and run support. Williams agrees with the coach that a 3-4 system would suit him at the next level. "The last 3 years here we played a 3-3-5 [defense], it was a modified 3-3-5 where we have two stand up 3 techs [technique]. [We use] a Sam [Strong side], and a Will [weak side] backer. I kind of think I would be utilized best in a 3-4 since I'm so used to coming off the edge already in our blitz scheme here at Western," explains Williams.

The Patriots also had Williams in for a visit according to Reiss.

Oh this might interest Box. The Eagles are keeping a close eye on Jason Williams. They have snaked some pretty good linebackers in the past.
Now, a guy who was not invited to the combine could come off the board as early as the third round. What is boosting him is teams that run 4-3 and 3-4 schemes are interested. He's got instincts, tackles well in space and is smart. We spotted Bucs linebackers coach Joe Barry at Northwestern where 17 teams were represented with some scouts saying they were there for the sole purpose of watching Williams. Philadelphia is also believed to be interested as NFL.com reported that Eagles linebackers coach Bill Shuey was in Evanston. When more than one-third of the league is checking you out, something good is bound to happen.
