Top pick stuck on special teams
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Falcons went through one of the two light workouts they will have this week and it was pretty much of a JV practice. The majority of frontline players went through light drills while many of the young players got the brunt of the work.
One of those players, was cornerback Jimmy Williams. Projected in training camp to be part of the nickel coverage package, Williams has played almost exclusively on special teams, with coaches opting for Kevin Mathis to be in during nickel situations, not Williams. Coach Jim Mora said this week there are no immediate plans to disrupt the strong cohesiveness in the secondary by playing Williams and that Williams will probably get most of his work this season on special teams.
