Truth be told, mention Garrett Williams outside of the Cardinals' fanbase, and most would think there was just a mispronunciation of Garrett Wilson, the Jets wide receiver.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said the work of his second-year cornerback "might fly under the radar a little bit" and that seems like a massive understatement right now. Williams, mostly playing in the slot, has had a fantastic second season. According to Pro Football Reference, Williams has been targeted 41 times this season, has allowed only 21 receptions, and those catches have gained only 173 yards. His passer rating against is 58.3.

He made a fantastic play in Seattle to drop back and make an interception of Geno Smith in the end zone, saving at least three points, and Gannon notes that most have not even seen everything Williams can do because he is essentially next man up in a number of different scenarios that have yet to emerge.

(For the record, Williams has, according to Pro Football Focus, 348 snaps in the slot, 147 in the box, 9 as an outside cornerback and six as a safety.)

"I don't like to name names and stuff like that, but this guy is playing really good football right now. Like really good football," Gannon said. "I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet."

Defensively, the Cardinals are on a heater. They allowed nine points to the Bears, six to the Jets and then only 10 to the Seahawks (because of course the other TD was an interception return). Budda Baker is the veteran of the secondary and is having a wonderful season, but the young cornerbacks -- Starling Thomas V, Max Melton and Williams in particular -- have shown significant growth.

(If Melton makes the jump next year that Williams has in his second season, look out.)

"You want to be known as a playmaker, someone who is a game changer. I'm trying to be that guy here," Williams told me recently. "I'm better than last year, but I should be better than last year."

He is better. Way better. Good enough that Garrett Williams is a name to remember.
