Tennessee defensive tackle Dan Williams, who's having a superb senior season, cracked Mel Kiper's Big Board this week of the top 25 prospects for the 2010 NFL draft.
Williams came in at No. 21 this week, and Kiper said Williams has been moving up his list all season long with his relentlessness and ability to make big plays against good teams. Kiper noted that Alabama was unable to block Williams.
With Williams being added to the Big Board, Ole Miss defensive end Greg Hardy dropped off this week.
Also dropping off was Alabama noseguard Terrence Cody, whom Kiper isn't sold on as the next great run-stopper.
Ironically, Cody was named Wednesday as one of the four finalists for the Lombardi Award.
The other SEC players making the Big Board this week were Tennessee safety Eric Berry (No. 2), Florida defensive end Carlos Dunlap (No. 4), Florida cornerback Joe Haden (No. 11), Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain (No. 14) and Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes (No. 25).
