HERO Sports is counting down the days until the kickoff of the 2018 college football season on Saturday, Aug. 25, by featuring the best player in the FBS at each jersey number, from 99-1. Each day, from May 18 through Aug. 24, we'll publish one article showcasing the best player whose jersey number matches the number of days remaining.
No. 29 Greedy Williams
LSU – CB
Opposing quarterbacks targeted receivers covered by Andraez "Greedy" Williams 66 times last season. Six of those targets were intercepted by the LSU cornerback, contributing to his opposing passer rating of 22.9 when targeted, according to Pro Football Focus.
Williams was the 20th-ranked corner in the 2016 recruiting class. After a massive redshirt freshman season in which he became the just the third player since 2008 to lead the SEC in both passes defended and interceptions, he is now the top corner on the 2019 NFL Draft board.
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranked Williams as the 12th-ranked overall prospect, ESPN's Todd McShay projected him as the sixth overall pick, and CBS Sports' Chris Trapasso has him as the eighth-ranked prospect.
Greedy Williams is an All-America candidate, the top 2019 corner prospect and the best No. 29 in college football, joining teammate Devin White on the HERO Sports countdown.
