Finley and Quarless are very much not H-backs.

They're a lot closer to WR/TE hybrids than they are to being H-backs.

I don't remember how Crabtree did out of the H-back. But I'd like to see him try the H-back and maybe even some FB work to see how he does there.

At times Williams has some power in his blocks, when he's on the move, which is a good sign for a possible H-back. I think Williams inline blocking isn't the best.

Also Taylor (the other TE drafted) played LB, FB and TE in college... so maybe he could be an H-back? Though I haven't seen him play.

Thanks Beast. I never saw Williams play. Good to hear he's got some blocking ability.

When he's on the move, drops his shoulders and attacks his blocking (which is what Lee did) he has some power but needs to get better and more consistent at it. Lee said he got a lot better as blocker here with the Packers. But I think Williams could potential grow into the H-back blocker.
