Texas OT Connor Williams declares for draft - ochocincos - 11-28-2017

I think what surprises me is he's skipping his bowl game, which I presume is to ensure his health now that he's recovered from his early season injury.
As the CBS article above states, he was dominant in 2016 but did struggle in the few games he has played in 2017.
Your thoughts?

The real red flag appears to be the injury. He's an option for us, but want him healthy by the combine. We can't afford another red shirt like Og.

Elite guard? Based on what? Nothing about his game suggests he is a good fit there.

His nastiness in the run game, the way he bulked up, his slow feet take ur pick. He's built like a tweener. Can play tackle or guard but would be a Marshall yanda/osemili type guard but a Taylor Decker type tackle. I like him.better as a guard.
