For the first week of training camp it’s been Corey Graham and Aaron Williams as the starting safety tandem, but with Williams sidelined for the blue-white scrimmage Saturday night, Duke Williams stepped in and earned the praise of his head coach for his performance.
“I was happy with Duke Williams,” said Rex Ryan. “I think with Aaron (Williams) being out for the scrimmage, Duke stepped in – hadn’t had any reps with the ones, we’ve been going with Aaron, and he stepped right in. Its different communication with a different guy with Corey (Graham) and all that, and he stepped right in. I thought he did a nice job.”
Williams saw almost half the snaps at safety last season splitting time with Da’Norris Searcy.
