Hellooooooooo again! Our NFL Draft train just keeps on rollin' with Oklahoma St. CB Darrent Williams up next. ESPN NFL Draft guru Mel Kiper has Williams listed as one of his "most intriguing prospects." Kiper on Williams: "Williams is a feisty kid with great toughness and good return skills, which will be a major plus in the NFL. At 5' 8 1/2", 185, he could be a good nickelback at the next level and would be a great pickup in the third round."

Darrent Williams

  (4:05 PM)

I am here and ready to go!

Jake (Denevr, Co)

Which teams have showed the most interest in you during the combine?

Darrent Williams

  (4:06 PM)

It's hard to say. All the teams I've talked to showed me about the same interest. They all told me I'm a great player and will have a long NFL career. I've been told by many that the teams that don't talk to you that end up drafting you.

Shane (Quincy MA)

how did you feel about being on madden 2006

Darrent Williams

  (4:07 PM)

Of course! I'll finally get to have my name on a game! That's exciting. It's my all-time favorite game.

Devin (Charleston, SC)

What have you been hearing about what round you'll be taken in?

Darrent Williams

  (4:07 PM)

I've heard everything from first to third. But lately I'm hearing no later than second round.

Sal (Medford,NJ)

If you had a chance to play for the New England Patriots your rookie year, how would you feel?

Darrent Williams

  (4:08 PM)

That would feel great. If they took me, I would be ready to play right away! But that's the case for any team.

Jeff (new orleans)

Do you think playing in Les Miles' system has prepared you for the complexity of the NFL defenses?

Darrent Williams

  (4:09 PM)

Somewhat. Him being an ex-NFL guy, we did some things NFL teams do. But I'll be ready for anything.

Kyle Levy (Palm Harbor)

Who is youre favorite team? (who do you use in madden)? Thanks

Darrent Williams

  (4:09 PM)

My favorite team on Madden is Miami.

James (Miami)

What do you think your biggest strength is as a player?

Darrent Williams

  (4:10 PM)

I think my overall football instincts. That is something you can't teach. It's a God-given skill.

Mark H. (Bowling Green, OH)

What NFL player have you modeled your game after?

Darrent Williams

  (4:11 PM)

I like Antonie Winfield a lot. He's a small guy who likes to come up and hit you. I watch him a lot.

Kyle Levy (Palm Harbor)

what WR would you like to hit so hard that his helmet flies off?

Darrent Williams

  (4:12 PM)

Keyshawn Johnson! He does a lot of talking. The Cowboys are my favorite team though. Maybe he if didn't talk so much he'd be a better player.

Brian (Norman)

Who is the most difficult draft-eligible player you've had to cover? What are your thoughts on Mark Clayton?

Darrent Williams

  (4:13 PM)

Mark Clayton is pretty tough to cover. Also Craig Bragg. Clayton is just so quick. Once he gets the ball, you have to stay on top of him or he can embarrass you.

Will (Minny via VA)

Would it scare you to go to a team with a terrible D (ex: Minnesota) or would you take that challenge on and try to be an example player?

Darrent Williams

  (4:14 PM)

Of course. That's how it was at Oklahoma St. The defense wasn't very good but I enjoyed the challenge. I'm going to play the same no matter what team I'm on though.

Matt Boy (Chouteau, OK)

I am a big Ok ST. Fan and a big fan of you. My question is how do you see your self contributing to a team?

Darrent Williams

  (4:15 PM)

I think I could be a starting punt returner and starting nickelback right off the bat.

Jeff (new orleans)

Good answer on the instincts. What part of the preperation do you enjoy the most film or physical preperation?

Darrent Williams

  (4:16 PM)

I like both. I like going out to practice and getting the feel of the game. But I also enjoy studing guys tendancies on film and getting ready for a matchup.

James (Ohio)

What would go through your mind when you go against Randy Moss,Marvin the top WR in the NFL??

Darrent Williams

  (4:16 PM)

The same thing as anybody else .. just how I'm going to shut them down. I feel like I'm a great player too. So I'll just do what got me here. Just play.

mike (concord,ca)

how much will you have to adjust your game to fit in with all the contact rules in the nfl?

Darrent Williams

  (4:17 PM)

We did that in the Senior Bowl but I was fine. I'm used to that.

Scott, Dallas

You are high on my book just because you are a Cowboy's fan. How would you like to play safety for them???

Darrent Williams

  (4:18 PM)

Safety? Na. You can move your corner to safety and let me have that spot!

Tom (Chicago)

Is your height an issue?

Darrent Williams

  (4:18 PM)

No issue. I've cleared all that up. They haven't said anything. Not after the Senior Bowl.

bob (nyc)

You sound like a good fit for the packers, who need help both in the secondary and on special teams. Have you had extensive talks with them?

Darrent Williams

  (4:19 PM)

I talked to them early on but not recently. They drafted three corners last year in the last three rounds so they should be getting the help. But I would love to play for them.

Jesse (miami, Fl)

what corner do yo look up to most

Darrent Williams

  (4:20 PM)

All the small corners! I'm always watching them. They make it easier for guys like me. A lot of the Pro Bowl corners last year were smaller.

Al: Madison, WI

Hello Darrent: Any preference as far as playing zone vs. man? And do you plan to return Kickoffs and/or punts in the NFL? I would like to see you in a Green Bay uniform, our secondary & special teams could use some depth and playmakers! Best of luck to you...

Darrent Williams

  (4:21 PM)

Yeah, I plan on returning kicks for sure. I can play zone or man to man, both. I'm good at both. I can always work on my footwork though.

Hank (Vegas)

Darrent, Where has your agent figure you to go pick wise and team? Also, once I get the first check I plan to buy _________?

Darrent Williams

  (4:22 PM)

Probably a BMW 745 for myself!

Mike (Chicago)

What are your other favorite sports to play?

Darrent Williams

  (4:27 PM)

Track and basketball. I did track in high school. I can still play basketball pretty good.

Mike (Chicago)

Do you know Eddie Sutton, and if so, would you take him out to a club after you signed with an NFL team? I would like to see him do the moonwalk on top of the bar!

Darrent Williams

  (4:27 PM)

Yeah, he used to tease me a lot about how he needed a backup point guard.

Kyle Levy (Palm Harbor)

Over a Lexus 350z?

Darrent Williams

  (4:28 PM)

Yeah. I'd rather have the BMW. I like the Lexus too, though!

Jeff (new orleans)

Your on the outside playing zone. The Steelrs run misdirection and pitch to the Bus. You and ten yards seperate him from the endzone. You taking him down?

Darrent Williams

  (4:28 PM)

Oh, yeah! I'm running full speed and taking out his legs!

Paul (J'ville)

Jags could use a playmaker at corner and at pr/kr. Have you given any thought to J'ville?

Darrent Williams

  (4:29 PM)

Yeah, I talked to their defensive backs coach a few weeks ago. They like me a lot.

Hank (Vegas)

Any thoughts of the Arena player who died, has the idea ever crossed your mind about death or serious injury while on the field?

Darrent Williams

  (4:31 PM)

I never think that way. I believe in God and I believe he has a plan for everyone. I just go out and play hard. Those things happen and it's unfortunate, but I just hope it doensn't happen to me and I can play a long time.

Jeff (new orleans)

Allright same question except sub bettis with vick?

Darrent Williams

  (4:32 PM)

That's harder! But I would do the same thing and hopefully get to him a little quicker! It would certainly be harder to take his legs out though!

Travis (Canada)

What number are you going to take in the pros? What are you willing to pay to get it from a vet?

Darrent Williams

  (4:34 PM)

I don't know about paying for it but I want 21 or 23. 21 because of Deion and 23 because of Jordan.

Mike (Chicago)

Halle or Angelina Jolie?

Darrent Williams

  (4:34 PM)

That's a hard one! Right now, I"d say Angelina. Those lips!

Kyle Levy (Palm Harbor)

Are you getting to hate scouts or like them?

Darrent Williams

  (4:35 PM)

Yeah, I don't really like them because they get paid to judge us. But everything speaks for itself. That is their job. It goes both ways I guess. Some scouts say good things about me. It's 50/50 .. I like them and I don't like them.

Aaron (Edmond, OK)

How did it feel to be called the smurfs at OSU?

Darrent Williams

  (4:36 PM)

It didn't feel bad. We were just small. But we got the job done. I don't care what people call me. At the end of the day they know I'm a good player.

Mike (Chicago)

Who is the most famous person you've met?

Darrent Williams

  (4:37 PM)

I'd have to say probably Barry Sanders! He was real cool. He told me what to expect in the NFL and to keep working hard. He's a real down to earth guy.

Josh (Richlands, NC)

Which 5 WR's are looking forward to lining up against? Hines Ward? TO? Moss? Who and why?

Darrent Williams

  (4:38 PM)

To be honest, Randy Moss. I just want to see how good he is. I've seen him on TV but I want to play against him to really see.

Matt Boy (Chouteau, Ok)

Have you talked to the Cowboys?

Darrent Williams

  (4:38 PM)

Yeah, I've talked to a scout from the Cowboys.

Nate (Plymouth MN)

Any chance my Vikings land you? Have you talked to them?

Darrent Williams

  (4:39 PM)

Not really. I talked to them at the combine but I haven't talked to them since.

Jason (Grand Rapids MI)

Is your 4.28 legit or what? I have seen you play and it looks so, but do you think you are faster?

Darrent Williams

  (4:40 PM)

That's legit. That is no fluke. I've been on the same field as Fabien Washington and I'm not sure his time is legit. But my time is legit.

Michael (New Orleans, LA)

Who is your agent and what kind of benefits do you get? Do you have agents still try and recruit you?

Darrent Williams

  (4:40 PM)

I get a lot more attention and a lot more conversations now!

Jeff (new orleans)

What drives you to be more sucessful in this sport: the championships, your teammates, the money, or the fame?

Darrent Williams

  (4:41 PM)

All of it. I'm trying to win championships, I'm trying to get the most money I can get, I'm trying to be a Hall of Fame player.

Mike (Chicago)

After you run back your first pick for a TD what celebration will you do?

Darrent Williams

  (4:42 PM)

I'm going to do the Deion dance! I already got that planned!

Travis (Canada)

After the career is done I most likely ______?

Darrent Williams

  (4:42 PM)

Probably Real Estate.

Mike (Chicago)

If you get taken first overall will you buy me a BMW?

Darrent Williams

  (4:43 PM)

Not sure about all that! I'll by my uncle Mike in Forth Worth one!

manuel girard ks

what are u going to miss most about collage?

Darrent Williams

  (4:43 PM)

The fans. College fans are so great. I love it. Just the enthusiasm they show.

Joe (Atlanta)

Why you got hate in your blood for my boy Fabian? You must admit he is a better , taller, faster, stronger, more athletic corner than you....

Darrent Williams

  (4:44 PM)

Nah. Check out the film and look at the stats. I'm not hatin' on him but people get recognition because of a great combine. But I was coming off a broken arm and was still right there. The stats just don't equal out. Check out everybody else's stats as well.

Cornelius Utley (Fredericksburg)

Darrent you have great speed. Is speed something you were born with, or did you have to train hard to become so fast

Darrent Williams

  (4:45 PM)

I was born with it. But I try to work on it as much as I can. Every team I've always been the fastest or among the top three.

Kyle Levy (Palm Harbor)

Whats the best compliment youve ever heard?

Darrent Williams

  (4:46 PM)

Just scouts telling me they thought I was the best CB in the draft. To be mentioned like that is nice.

Rich (maorgantown, WV)

How about Pac Man Jones? Do you feel you are better than him?

Darrent Williams

  (4:47 PM)

I"m saying I'm better than everybody. Just look at the stats. Break it down, play by play, game by game. I never even heard of this dude until the Draft. He's probably never heard of me either.

Mike (Chicago)

Did you have UNC in your bracket?

Darrent Williams

  (4:47 PM)

Oh, yeah. I had them winning it all. That's my favorite hoops team.

Ryan (DC)

Who in the Big XII North did you most enjoy competing against?

Darrent Williams

  (4:48 PM)

Oklahoma was my favorite opponent. Just so much energy in that game.

Travis (Canada)

With all the ego stroking that has come your way before the draft, has any scout/team rep. been honest with you and maybe told you something you did not want to hear about yourself?

Darrent Williams

  (4:49 PM)

Yeah. They told me about all the things that happened in my past. I don't want to hear that because the past is the past. Other than that, nothing. My film, stats, workouts, etc. it all speaks for itself.

Darrent Williams

  (4:50 PM)

Thanks for the questions! Keep watching for me. Just beware .. I'm coming!

Buzzmaster

  (4:54 PM)

Thanks, Darrent! Folks, thanks for another great day in The Show! We'll be back Tuesday with Fred Gibson, Rob Neyer and Peter Gammons!
