STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Williams leads NFL in completion rate at 72.5% with elite clean-pocket efficiency.

Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards and 1 TD in Week 6 with a perfect 24-of-24 from a clean pocket, earning a 65.0 offensive grade and 70.7 passing grade despite PFF's conservative evaluation. His 72.5% completion rate currently leads the NFL, addressing the primary knock on his game from last season. The source notes that when given a clean pocket, Williams can "destroy you," and emphasizes his demonstrated ability to operate within structure in 2026 despite a limited sample size due to injury. The source frames PFF's grading as goalpost-moving criticism—previously dinged for low completion rate, now criticized for sacks and ball placement despite elite efficiency metrics.
