per SI:
The Giants had four seventh-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. Two of the selections were from the University of Minnesota, one being defensive back Chris Williamson, a versatile player with experience on the boundary, and in the slot.
According to Pro Football Focus, he played 444 of his 657 snaps in the slot of Joe Rossi’s defense, which differs from his 2018 tape, where he played the majority of the time as a wide corner.
Throughout his college tenure, he played in 38 games, starting 10, while recording 96 total tackles, 7.5 tackles for a loss, 3.5 sacks, 9 passes defensed, and two interceptions.
Minnesota was not Williamson’s first school; the 5’11", 199-pound corner, was initially a Florida Gator but transferred to Minnesota in 2017.
By the end of his time rowing the boat, he earned an invitation to the East-West Shrine game and had a solid week of practice in St. Petersburg.
Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck has openly embraced Williamson’s ability to develop into a leader on and off the field, making it difficult for a player to transfer in from another program.
