Williams slid up to fourth on Green Bay's WR depth chart following the offseason departures of Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. The 2025 third-round pick was limited to 78 receiving yards during his rookie regular season, but Williams has the speed to generate big plays if he can get the ball in space, which is why he also sees involvement on special teams and gets the occasional handoff. He led the Packers with five targets in their preseason opener, and Williams will likely have the ball schemed into his hands a few times in this game so the coaching staff can continue to evaluate his development.

Williams, a second-year third-round pick, is an unrefined wide receiver prospect and may not actually be a true receiver; he's a gigantic athlete still learning the nuances of the position, and at worst looks like a super athletic player put in a uniform rather than a polished football player. The source suggests the Packers should consider other big-bodied prospects if they want actual wide receiver abilities from Williams.

Williams, a second-year third-round pick, is assessed as an unrefined wide receiver prospect who 'doesn't quite' merit mention as a receiver. The source characterizes him as 'a gigantic athlete who was still learning the nuances of the position' pre-draft and notes that a year later with half a season of evidence, he still appears unrefined—'more like a super athletic dude that someone put in a uniform.' Neyor and Sturdivant both look better equipped to contribute, and if Williams can't figure out how to play like an actual receiver instead of a 'Tyler Ervin-esque gadget man,' he may not remain on the roster long despite low cut chances as a third-round pick.
