Kyle Williams is from Baltimore and played hs ball in CA. Has experience at several different positions like cb, wr, qb and returner.

One of the better prospects you'll see against press bc of his suddenness, footwork and initial burst. He's the guy that will never win a race against guys in practice but his game speed is always plus. His first few steps are very quick and powerful. Plus acceleration, twitched up. Love his ability to create big plays next level even if other parts of his game are lacking. He's a great tracker with a big play mindset (17 y/r) Will maneuver and adjust on the fly without losing speed. Can stack and track. One of the better rr in the class against man/zone. Whether it's vertical stuff, running away from zone coverage. He's a very savvy rr with a good understanding of what's in front of him. This might sound like words but so many pass rushers, wrs etc don't naturally understand different types of blocks or coverage right away. You don't know you can't properly use the right tools. Versatility jumps out at me. He might never be the surest handed slot guy but his ability to get vertical in a hurry will be a nightmare for S/LB in 3 wr sets. WR2 ceiling if his blocking improves. He need a lot of work there but *if* he improves he could be a starter. His footwork, once he's off the los could be more efficient. He'll round, drift and just find himself a little out place at times. Vision and timing could improve on some of his underneath routes vs zone coverage. Release package is plus but he has to get stronger next level. CBs are too big, long and just as fast. This along with his blocking are his biggest obstacles. Once a guy gets his hands on him he's going to have serious trouble adjusting. He's going to have to fight through contact a lot more.
 
Awesome day two picks.
 
Favorite in the DF. He's explosive and has real big play ability. Love this pick. Had a high 3rd on him. Not on my ptp board but was definitely on the radar. I think everyone will love him.









 
Didn't see him play at all in college but based on the highlights so far, he looks like he should have been picked in the first round lol.
 
 
I didn't watch him play but his highlights look much better than Polk's. Decent size with above average yac ability looks promising. Yac and suddenness from the slot is a big thing in McDaniels offense. If he can get the playbook down, training camp will be interesting.

Hes not the biggest guy. Didn't produce the way you wanted. Has to really improve his blocking and has trouble with physical press but he's such a weapon. Big play mindset and real confidence. He almost got a 2nd round grade from me I love the value. He's got something no one else does in the wr corp. He's explosive, has serious vertical capabilities and can beat press/man. WR3 upside in this offense right away.

We put real speed on the field with the last two picks. Both Henderson and Williams have legit NFL speed.

He was the fastest recorded WR during Senior Bowl week (practices and game) at 21.36mph by Zebra Tech. That is no joke, especially given the limited opportunities during the week to go full throttle.

The YAC potential looks legit. He looks good with the ball in his hands - finding running lanes, shifty, with home run speed.

This is right up with how Josh uses his receivers.

He can really accelerate, throttle down. Very shifty, can wiggle, weave without losing speed. First few steps are really explosive. Again something different than the rest.
 
Simms and Renner are very high on him.
