Late in the first quarter, Goff threw a perfect deep ball to Williams, but it bounced off both hands. On that same drive, he had another near-catch, but it was broken up at the last second by a defender. In the second quarter, he bobbled a reverse pitch. In the third quarter, Williams failed to corral a third-down pass, ending the drive. With under a minute left in the game, another ball went off the fingertips of Williams, forcing a punt.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Williams' multiple drops and miscues in season debut underscore ball-security concerns.

On a day when the Lions offense was quiet through the air, Williams had a rough season debut with four catches for 45 yards when it should have been far more. He dropped a perfect deep ball in the first quarter that bounced off both hands, had another near-catch broken up by a defender, bobbled a reverse pitch in the second quarter, failed to corral a third-down pass in the third quarter, and had another ball go off his fingertips late in the game forcing a punt. The source emphasizes that despite his 1,117-yard season last year and explosive ceiling, as a dynamic playmaker he needs to keep the ball in his hands.
