D'haquille "Duke" Williams made a smart move Tuesday.While some NFL draft prospects with a history of disciplinary i sues save their explanations or apologies for NFL scouts and personnel executives at the NFL , or perhaps in an interview with a scout at the Reese's , the dismi sed Auburn wide receiver isn't going to let three or four months pa Anthony DeSclafani Jersey s before showing some contrition.The senior and 2016 prospect took to Instagram with a me sage that came acro s unscripted and honest.Of course, it's the start of a challenging image-repair job.But not every player in Williams' position has the willingne s to begin that proce s on his own, long before he is forced to discu s his problems with NFL clubs. Take, in contrast, the comments of former Michigan State linebacker from the 2014 NFL . Bullough refused to publicly addre s his disciplinary i sues with the Spartans, and he to addre s them for NFL fans.Williams, instead, is setting a wiser stage for his interaction with NFL clubs in the evaluation proce s leading up to the 2016 -- and he needs to. NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein said from third- or fourth-round status to a projection of late pick or undrafted free agent.He has plenty to answer for.Williams was suspended multiple times at Auburn before being dismi sed by coach Gus Malzahn in midseason . He was also suspended for the Outback Bowl in January, and again during the preseason this year. His effort this season was criticized as well, and the Tigers' quarterback struggles rendered him le s productive than he was a year ago.There won't be any shortage of questions about his behavior at the 2016 combine.But Williams is recognizing the importance of public perception, as well, and not all draft prospects come to that realization.*Follow Chase Goodbread on Twitter *.
