Anthony Munoz knows a thing or two about the offensive line and says the Cincinnati Bengals have something special with Jonah Williams.
Williams, who missed all of last season, was the target of Munoz praise alongside fellow sophomore Michael Jordan.
“They’re young, but I’m excited about that,” Munoz said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “You’ll go through some growing pains, but I think eventually you’re going to be pretty good over there.”
Munoz specifically expanded on why he isn’t worried about the fact Williams missed last season, not to mention the unorthodox summer facing the entire NFL:
“He’s had a full year in the system. He knows the system. That’s an advantage. He’s not coming in cold. He’s in unchartered waters, no question. From what I hear he’s got an unbelievable work ethic. My advice is, ‘It’s your spot. Get after it like you were there last year. Continue with that work ethic. Believe in your technique.'”
Williams has certainly looked the part this offseason as he trains with a modern legend like Joe Staley. One doesn’t have to look far or wide to find this coaching staff praising him last year for his continued prep even though he was out with an injury.
The Bengals have a ton riding on Williams as he gets ready to protect Joe Burrow in 2020. If Munoz is confident in the outlook, pretty much anybody should be.
