Williams

It’s a nice addition for the barren New England offense. Williams will function as a big play target for Drake Maye, who operated with one of the league’s worst wideout rooms in 2024. Williams (5’11/190) only appeared in six games as a freshman at UNLV because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but he immediately looked like the best player on the field. He posted a 35/426/2 line as a true freshman. That was 21 more receptions and 280 yards more than the team’s second-leading pass-catcher. The Rebels’ passing attack never took off and Williams amassed just 1,142 yards and seven touchdowns across 19 injury-plagued games over the next two years. Williams then transferred to the pass-crazed offense of Washington State. He set career highs across the board with a 61/843/6 line in 2023 and then doubled down with 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns on 70 grabs in 2024. Williams ran a 4.4 Forty at the combine and his speed is apparent on tape. He separated on intermediate and deep routes with ease. Only 16 percent of his career targets were contested and that number fell to 14 percent at Washington State. Williams looks the part of a future WR2 in the pros, though his undersized build could limit his ceiling as an outside receiver.

Williams has a couple connections to the Titans: Offensive coordinator Nick Holz was Williams’ OC at UNLV in 2022 and Cam Ward — Tennessee’s potential top pick in the draft — was Williams’ quarterback at Washington State in 2022 and 2023. Williams was an explosive after-the-catch producer at Washington State; he was 13th in YAC per reception in 2024 and piled up 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns for the Cougars. Williams, 22, would have a real shot to be Tennessee’s top receiver if the team reunites him with Ward.
