"Speaking of that, we just did a piece on you talking about that position (Safety/OLB) and how it’s evolving and the lines are being blurred. What do you make of this rover position that you have to cover tight ends (playing man and zone schemes) and also blitzing and doing those kinds of things? Do you have a preference for what position you’d like to play?"

E.J. Williams (@_Jayzeus):

"Just read the article! I appreciate it a lot very thankful. In order to play the rover position, I think you have to be a guy that is physical enough to play the run and pass rush but also be athletic enough to play in space. I personally don’t have a preference I like doing both, being in the mix when there’s a run and covering a man when the ball is in the air."
