04/27/2009 - A closer look at the Cowboys' picks: Round 4/120 - Brandon Williams, LB, 6-3, 261, Texas Tech...The Big 12's sack leader with 13 as a junior, the Cowboys have another athletic project for their 3-4 defense. Williams will have to show he has the balance and flexibility required to play in space as an outside linebacker.

04/13/2009 - Texas Tech defensive end Brandon Williams is driving from Fort Worth to Dallas every day to work out. On Monday, he will make a detour to Irving. Williams is among draft prospects who will visit Valley Ranch for Dallas Day. He goes to Denver to visit with the Broncos on Wednesday. Williams, who went to South Hills, is projected as a fourth- or fifth-round draft choice by NFL Draft Scout, a Web site. He is hoping to go higher. "Hopefully, I can go second or third," Williams said in a telephone interview. "A lot of teams are really hesitating on my speed. I ran another 40[-yard dash Friday]. We put it on camera, so we're going to send it out to different teams. Hopefully, that will help." Williams said he ran times of 4.69 and 4.74 on Friday. He ran a 4.96 at the NFL Scouting Combine and a 4.78 on his Pro Day. - Charean Williams, Star-Telegram.com

      Overview

      Big 12 opponents fully appreciated the impact Williams had on the Red Raiders' in 2008, even if others paid more attention to the high-flying offense. After all, Williams led the conference with 13 sacks, earning first-team All-Big 12 accolades as a junior, and leaves Tech ranked fourth in school history with 22.5 career sacks. Williams is strictly a speed rusher, as he lacks the bulk and strength to provide much in the running game. Teams are always looking for pass rushers and this fact could make Williams a top-100 selection come April, but another year at Texas Tech to get stronger would have been beneficial.
