Williams showing improved line-of-scrimmage diagnosis and playmaking; waving off receivers, executing dummy IDs.

Williams is demonstrating improved line-of-scrimmage command and playmaking in Year 2. He diagnosed quarters coverage (four defensive backs splitting the deep field) on a post route to offseason acquisition Kalif Raymond and threw off one hitch to find Raymond in stride. At the line, Williams has been observed waving receivers off and guiding teammates into the correct run play on wide-zone calls, and baiting the Bears' defense into biting on dummy identifications, according to offensive coordinator Press Taylor. These improvements reflect Williams' growing understanding of the offense and his ability to manipulate defenses.
