Monica Holland | Pros and cons of Kansas City Chiefs picking Fayetteville State's Joshua Williams in NFL Draft

There are no Cons on FSU Broncos Joshua Williams. Talent has nothing to do with NCAA division classification. The NFL has previously drafted players from NAIA and NCAA Div. III. Get over it -- he's in the NFL and that's what matters!! https://t.co/zc3Axjpc9r
