During his rookie season, that versatility was lacking: Williams ran routes virtually exclusively from the X-receiver spot, where he served as a backup to Boutte. Playing that role, he finished his first year in the league with just 12 receptions that he took for 223 yards and three touchdowns.

Williams expanding role beyond X-receiver to increase snap count and versatility

During his rookie season, Williams ran routes virtually exclusively from the X-receiver spot as a backup to Kayshon Boutte, finishing with 12 receptions for 223 yards and three touchdowns. In the offseason, assisted by Mack Hollins, he worked on physicality while maintaining speed to become more versatile. His goal is to expand his role by moving from the slot to the outside to increase snap count and opportunities.
