Williams' $26.67M AAV reflects WR2 role but he's delivered 1,000-yard seasons.

Williams signed a three-year, $83 million extension with the Lions with $67 million guaranteed, earning $26.67 million annually—WR2 money despite being a first-round pick, as Detroit had Amon-Ra St. Brown on the roster. Williams only achieved one 1,000-yard season before signing but has become electric since, logging back-to-back 1,000+ yard campaigns and 14 touchdowns over his last two seasons. Through four seasons, Williams has logged 2,513 receiving yards, trailing his 2022 draft class peers in total production.
