Williams shows inconsistency that may be inherent to his off-schedule play style. The source notes: "There are games where you are like, 'Oh my God, that's not good,' and then there is the Rams game in the playoffs last year where it's, 'Jesus, God, he kept them alive.' Then he tries to trademark 'Iceman,' and you're thinking, 'Get outta here.'" Execs generally rated Williams higher than coaches; all eight GMs placed him in Tier 2, while coaches supplied 11 of his 14 Tier 3 votes. A defensive coordinator compared him to Josh Allen at a similar career stage: "He is a high 3 or low 2 with the ability to go either way, kind of like Josh Allen at (the same) point in his career. He is an exciting player, definitely athletic. The good thing for him, just like Lamar (Jackson) and Josh (Allen) at this stage: It doesn't look like the moment is too big for him."
