Williams' elite release package and vertical speed make him a big-time threat along the outside. That was his role for much of last season, as one-third of his routes were go balls — one of the highest rates in football.

Positive signalProjection

Williams' deep-ball prowess remains valuable asset with Boutte's departure and Maye's arm talent.

Elite release package and vertical speed position Williams as a significant deep-ball threat for the Patriots, especially with the recent departure of Kayshon Boutte. Quarterback Drake Maye is one of the best deep-ball throwers in the NFL, and Williams' ability to win deep will remain a key asset. During the 2025 preseason, Williams caught three touchdowns all on go-ball routes, demonstrating his proficiency on vertical concepts where he ran one of the highest go-ball rates in football during his rookie season.
