I thought Kyle [Williams] had a couple decent returns... I thought Kyle ran decisively. It didn't look timid... Williams only ran back two kicks, but he gained exactly 29 yards on both of them — a 2.6-yard improvement compared to his 2025 regular season average — and added 0.8 expected points for his team.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Williams improved to 14.5 yards per return in season opener with decisive running and better gap recognition.

Williams gained 29 yards on two kickoff returns in the season opener against Seattle, a 2.6-yard improvement over his 2025 regular season average, and added 0.8 expected points for the team. Head coach Mike Vrabel praised his decisiveness: 'I thought Kyle ran decisively. It didn't look timid.' Williams attributed his improvement to increased comfortability with the new kickoff rule in his second season, noting he now understands gap recognition, track placement, and block setup better than in his rookie year.
