Jets take Alabama's Quinnen Williams with third pick

The Jets drafted Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the third overall pick of the NFL draft on Thursday night..

The 6-3, 303-pound Williams had a breakout sophomore season in which he had eight sacks and 19 { tackles for loss against some of college football's top offensive linemen. He has a complete package of quickness, power and instincts and can make an impact in both the run and pass game.
