Quinnen Williams
Alabama Saban Era · 2018The era's purest interior-line season — 19.5 tackles for loss from the three-technique, no NFL career has yet eclipsed the college version.
2018 Outland · 19.5 TFL · 8 sacks · 71 tackles as a 3-tech
Williams' 2018 was the kind of season offensive coordinators built protections around. He won the Outland Trophy as a redshirt sophomore at a position that doesn't usually get the trophy, and his 19.5 tackles for loss are still the gold standard for an interior-line season in the era. The Jets took him third overall and have largely failed to surround him with anything; the Alabama version, against the SEC West and the Playoff, remains the master tape. He is the argument for why the position-by-position list of the CFP era still has interior defensive line in the top 20.
