It's no secret that expectations are sky high for Leonard Williams.

The former USC defensive lineman is considered the top prospect in this year's NFL draft by most pundits. Where he'll land on Thursday is anyone's guess, but whoever gets him could potentially land a future Hall of Famer. One former coach thinks that highly of Williams, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"You've got to put him in the category of the Warren Sapps, the Cortez Kennedys, the Hall of Famers," former coach Ed Orgeron told Sam Farmer. "The guy's got the potential to be that type of player. He has a shot to be a dominant football player, and with continued improvement over the next couple of years, he's got the potential to be an NFL Hall of Famer."

The pressure's on. But Williams likely wouldn't have it any other way.
