Greedy Williams was widely viewed as one of the top defensive backs available in the 2019 NFL Draft, but he wasn't taken until the No. 46 overall pick. The Cleveland Browns ended up trading up to draft him and are excited about the potential that he will bring to their defensive secondary.
Shortly after being drafted by the Browns, Williams has already made an insanely bold prediction for his new team in 2019. He went all in and predicted that Cleveland would be heading to the Super Bowl, as shared by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

That may not be the best way to start off your first NFL conference call. Cleveland has made a lot of big moves this offseason, but going out and predicting a Super Bowl appearance from a player who hasn't played a single NFL game may be taking things a bit too far.
Last season with the LSU Tigers, Williams had a big year. He compiled 33 total tackles to go along with two interceptions and nine defended passes. He had a much bigger year in 2018, racking up 38 total tackles, six interceptions, and 10 defended passes.
Cleveland drafted Denzel Ward in the first round last offseason and he put together a massive rookie year. Pairing Ward and Williams will give them a great young cornerback duo to build around. Both players are capable playmakers and have shut opposing receivers down throughout their entire careers.
It will be intriguing to see how the rookie fares in his first NFL season. Cleveland will likely see him take on a big role early on and he will be asked to step up immediately.
Whether or not Williams' bold predictions comes true or not? Only time will tell.
