one-third of his routes were go balls — one of the highest rates in football. Among the few players with a higher rate was recently traded wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. The 2025 third-round pick's ability to win deep will continue to be an asset for the Patriots' offense — especially with Boutte's departure...

Positive signalRole

Boutte trade opens deep-ball volume for Williams with elite QB Drake Maye.

One-third of routes were go balls in Year 1, one of the highest rates in football; Kayshon Boutte's recent trade departure creates opportunity for Williams to maintain deep-ball role; Drake Maye is one of the best deep-ball throwers in the NFL, supporting Williams' vertical threat value; A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs are not specifically burners at the position, leaving Williams as primary deep-threat option in Patriots' upgraded WR depth chart.
