What happened: Leonard Williams aligned as No. 99 and won with head placement, eye discipline and hip leverage. His hands struck first and reset the line of scrimmage.

Why it matters: Interior wins like that collapse pockets without extra blitzers and force offenses to slide protection. Sustained leverage is what keeps a veteran interior defender disruptive across a full season.

What to watch: The next test is holding that leverage against double teams and quick-game blocking schemes.
