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 signalBust

Williams' multiple drops and 45 yards on four catches signal concerning hands issues.

Williams had a rough season debut despite the Lions needing a playmaker on a day when the offense was quiet through the air. He finished with four catches for 45 yards but should have had far more; the source catalogs multiple drops and near-misses: a perfect deep ball that bounced off both hands in the first quarter, a near-catch broken up by a defender, a bobbled reverse pitch, a failed third-down catch, and another ball 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, a dynamic playmaker must keep the ball in his hands.
