Back in mid-May, Len Pasquarelli said of Madieu Williams:
The Bengals' coaching staff, by the way, is starting to wonder if fourth-year safety Madieu Williams is ever going to regain the form of his 2004 rookie season. The Bengals felt they had a potentially special player in Williams a few years ago, but he's looked pretty ordinary of late.
Then, Pasquarelli said last week.
Look for a pair of rookie safeties, Marvin White of TCU (fourth round) and Notre Dame's Nedu Ndukwe (seventh round), to vie for playing time in the Cincinnati secondary. The Bengals' coaches are increasingly frustrated by the lack of progress from veteran Madieu Williams.
From Len's trends, Williams' stock is going down.
