Williams starts his delivery before Burden had fully throttled down. He recognizes the cushion and throws into the space underneath the corner, trusting Burden to come back to the ball. That anticipation helps preserve the separation Burden creates with his change of direction.

Burden breaks tackle for 25-yard explosive gain on Williams' anticipation throw

Burden caught a 25-yard completion on 1st and 10 (ATL43, 04:28) on a Good-graded play. Williams showed anticipation by starting his delivery before Burden fully throttled down on a comeback route, throwing into the space underneath the corner. Burden turned upfield before the corner could close, then broke a tackle for an explosive gain. The source credits this to mutual trust between Williams and Burden, with Burden's elite YAC ability turning an accurate intermediate completion into a 25-yard play.
