McCarron shared more of his observations."He runs way too high for a slot receiver," McCarron said. "He was getting gloved in this game. I was standing on the sideline, watching it, with my own two eyes, right there on the sideline. Had a perfect view. And this kid was getting gloved."He needs to step up. All this hype and everything, guess what? You are not getting drafted off one year. You're not Jeremiah Smith, brother. Jeremiah Smith could've came (out) last year and been the first pick overall. You're not at that level. So step up, make plays and get open. You're jogging way too many routes. Somebody needs to challenge him."Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer revealed during Monday's news conference that Williams was in concussion protocol. However, DeBoer also said that he has been on the practice field ahead of the Week 3 matchup vesus the Wisconsin Badgers.
