Cal's Pick-Six Machine Turned Chiefs' Day-3 Steal

Nohl Williams, a Consensus All-American and 2024 First-Team All-ACC cornerback for Cal, led the nation with **7 interceptions** (1 TD) and 15 passes defended in 13 games, showcasing elite ball skills and instincts after transferring from UNLV[2][3]. At 6'1", 200 lbs with a blistering **4.50 40-yard dash**, his physicality, return ability (career 430+ all-purpose yards), and three-year starting grit make him a lockdown DB who thrives in man coverage—perfect for teams needing a versatile, high-motor playmaker with no notable injury history. Chiefs nabbed him in 2025 Rd 3, Pick 85, and he's already active with 3 PDs in 4 games[1][5].
