Like Mike Jenkins, University of South Florida CB Trae Williams had to wait a little longer than he expected before being selected in the NFL Draft.

Williams was chosen in the fifth round Sunday by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was the 159th pick overall and the 26th cornerback selected.

“Some of the measurables aren’t where you’d like them,” Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio told jaquars.com. “We think this guy is a good football player. We’re not looking for front-line starters, but you have to have depth on your football team.

“I’m not going to place a ceiling on [Williams]. I want to see what you can do. If they can make a role for themselves, great.”

Jenkins slipped on Saturday to No. 25 in the first round before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys. The addition of Jenkins to Dallas gives the Cowboys two former Bulls, along with CB Anthony Henry, a fact not lost with USF secondary coach Troy Douglas.

America’s Team is quickly becoming USF’s team.

“I’ve always been a big fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers,” Douglas said. “But if there’s such a thing as a bandwagon fan, that’s me: I’m a Dallas fan now because they like the South Florida Bulls.”

USF coach Jim Leavitt said Saturday he wasn’t surprised Jenkins fell to No. 25. Especially after USF RB Andre Hall went undrafted in 2005 after leading the Big East in rushing.

“I’ve been through these things so nothing surprises me,” Leavitt said. “Everything happens for a reason.”
