Hogs Haven on Antonio Williams
From the article
Rookie Antonio Williams is already "better" than 2022 NFL draft 16th-overall pick Dotson in one important way, according to ESPN's John Keim. Williams "sold the go route and then he crosses them out to the outside." Keim explained, "I used to say that about Jahan Dotson when he was a rookie and then he just plateaued. He could never really get off the line. That was a big problem. I think Antonio Williams is better at getting off the line for sure."
STACKED’s take
Williams' route-running and break ability already exceed Dotson's; Rookie of the Week honors signal early breakout.
Rookie WR Antonio Williams earned Rookie of the Week honors and high grades in Week 1 debut against Philadelphia. ESPN's John Keim highlighted Williams' superior route-running ability compared to 2022 first-round pick Jahan Dotson, noting Williams "sold the go route and then he crosses them out to the outside" with quick breaks that get him open consistently. Keim contrasted this with Dotson's plateau, saying "I used to say that about Jahan Dotson when he was a rookie and then he just plateaued. He could never really get off the line. That was a big problem. I think Antonio Williams is better at getting off the line for sure." The 22-year-old is trending upward with proven ability to escape coverage and earn league-wide recognition early.
