Draft Scouting Report

Rating: 78.31 (Reserve/backup)
Pro Comparison: Nolan Carroll
Summary

Nohl Williams is a boundary cornerback who is patient, but prepared off the line of scrimmage. He is best in zone coverage where he is able to play the quarterback's eyes and play downhill as evidenced by his 12 interceptions over the past three seasons, including seven in 2024. Williams showed improvement as a tackler from 2023 to 2024, but remains inconsistent in run support. He shows some false steps at the top of the stem, which allows the opposition to create separation.

Top Nohl Williams News

  • Chiefs' Nohl Williams: Chiefs add experienced Round 3 CB

    Rotowire

    The Chiefs selected Williams in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 85th overall.

    Williams (6-feet, 199 pounds) is a bigger corner with the exceedingly rare distinction of starting five collegiate seasons -- three at UNLV, and two at California. Williams might be more skilled than athletic -- his 4.5-second 40 and 33.5-inch vertical imply average athleticism -- but players who earn as much quality playing time as Williams usually have a place in the NFL. Kansas City will probably train Williams for snaps on the boundary behind Trent McDuffie, Kristian Fulton and Jaylen Watson.
