I like that Williams is able to backpedal at 20.4 mph

Useful as a CB

I asked my friend that coached defensive backs in college about this player.


He said there is a good chance Nohl is in the former Sneed role as soon as this year. Reason being this guy can press, has ball instincts and can get physical with the other teams best.


As I stated before this draft, boundary corner was a sneaky need. How many games last year did we have bad play at corner on the outside? Too many.

I don't believe he's just depth either.

McDuffie and Fulton are the starters, but Watson isn't locked in as the 3rd guy when they go to nickel. He's always been up and down despite playing lights out before the injury last year. He struggled in the playoffs, probably because he came back too early, but there are no guarantees.

If Watson gets back to from, he takes over in 2026 when Watson leaves as a FA.

Crazy that Josh Williams is the 5th corner (assuming they don’t still hate him for whatever reason).

Go Chiefs. Keep building that future.

For me Fulton is nice insurance against shit like Nazeeh seeing the field again, but I would prefer someone else step up.

I definitely will be watching this corner situation closely once we get to training camp.

Fulton has never been healthy for a full season, so it’s very likely that this kid could start a game for us

Here's a little nugget that I found on Arrowhead Pride

When the Kansas City Chiefs traded up to select cornerback Nohl Williams with the 85th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, they didn’t just land a long, physical defender at a position of need. They drafted one of their own.


As Williams explained to reporters on Saturday afternoon, he was a Chiefs fan long before Kansas City ever called his name.

“Early on it was the San Diego Chargers — and then Kansas City, believe it or not,” Williams said of his childhood NFL fandom, “because my favorite player is De’Anthony Thomas. He got drafted here — and that’s when I made the switch.”

Now 32, Thomas was a fourth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2014. And if you’re wondering whether Williams is just pandering to his new fanbase, he says other things you’d expect a true fan to say.

“That was my team,” he added. “I watched them ever since the Alex Smith days — like Dexter McCluster, Jamaal Charles and all those guys.”

It really doesn't take much for San Diego residents to bail on the Chargers
