Vanderbilt’s classic SEC tackle prototype with NFL pedigree
Chris Williams was a dominant Vanderbilt offensive tackle, earning first-team All-SEC honors in the 2007 season and allowing just one sack in both the 2006 and 2007 seasons, which is the kind of pass-protection consistency scouts drool over[1][4][6]. What made him special wasn’t just the size—at about 6-foot-6 and 320 pounds—but the versatility, agility, and reliability to start 33 consecutive games, handle both guard and tackle, and play through injuries while still projecting as a plug-and-play mauler for a power run or pass-first team[2][4][5].
