        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The wide, enthusiastic smile of Quinnen Williams’ is back.</p><p>After a rookie season in which he didn’t perform the way he’d hoped — particularly as the third overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft with high expectations — Williams is bullish on his chances to become a disrupter in the Jets’ defense in 2020.</p><p>“I’m feeling it, man,’’ the 22-year-old second-year defensive tackle out of Alabama said Wednesday after practice. “I feel myself being that person that they drafted me to be. I feel like I’m coming into being that person to being a dominant defensive tackle in the NFL.’’</p><p>Williams wasn’t, by any means, a bust last season. He simply did not stand out. He wasn’t the disruptive force in the middle he was in college.</p><p>Hampered last year with an ankle injury, he finished with 28 tackles, 2.5 sacks and had a fumble recovery in 13 games.</p><p>He spoke on Wednesday of much higher hopes and expectations for himself.</p><p><strong><b><i>Submit your Jets questions here to be answered in an upcoming Post mailbag</i></b></strong></p><figure id="attachment_16159626"  class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/quinnenw.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/08/quinnenw.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/08/quinnenw.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Quinnen Williams</span><span class="credit">Getty Images</span></figcaption></figure><p>“I’m in great shape, great condition, I got my body fat down,’’ he said. “I’m rocking and rolling. Last year, I was coming in and getting my feet wet. This year … I got my body right this offseason. I got my confidence back this offseason.’’</p><p>Defensive line coach Andre Carter said he felt Williams was over-analytical last season, which slowed him.</p><p>&#8220;When you think too much, you&#8217;re going to naturally take false steps,&#8221; Carter said. &#8220;When you overanalyze, you&#8217;re going to naturally be slow to react. He was like, &#8216;Hey coach, I learned something today. Just go.&#8217; I was like, &#8216;It&#8217;s about time. I told you that for four or five months.&#8217;</p><p>“He had shown flashes of good plays, but now it&#8217;s continuing to be consistent. It starts in practice. He&#8217;s been consistent since Day 1 since we&#8217;ve come back as a collective defensive line and he&#8217;s shown that.&#8221;</p><p>Head coach Adam Gases said he’ll measure Williams by one thing.</p><p>“I want him to be disruptive,’’ Gase said.</p><p>Listening to Williams on Wednesday, he clearly believes he’s up for the task.</p>]]></content:encoded>
