so, I was curious to see what scouting reports thought of Williams... Apparently, everyone else noticed the same thing.

NEGATIVES
— Has a tendency to body-catch throws at his body, which can lead to drops. Can be uncomfortable when catching in traffic.

Williams has a tendency to body catch or trap the ball when it is thrown inside his frame which can result in the odd drop.

Inconsistent technique catching passes, as he frequently allows balls to enter his chest rather than attacking and plucking the front point of the football.
Struggles to maintain focus and composure at the catch point in traffic. Due to Williams’ long and slender frame, physical cornerbacks and safeties are able to overwhelm him with their play strength. This had led to many incomplete passes in contested catch situations.

-Tendency to let ball into body makes him susceptible to drops
-Couldn’t crack OSU depth chart; just 15 combined receptions as a freshman and sophomore

Does not always use his hands to secure deep throws, allowing the ball into his pads and chest.

He’s a body catcher and doesn't have natural hands, leading to drops on throws that are away from his torso. He also won’t bail out the quarterback on inaccurate passes — but still catchable — that are in front or behind him and above his waist





Right now my ranking would probably go

1a. Burks (better at breaking tackles and has a mean stiff-arm)
1b. Wilson
2. Dotson
3. Olave
4. Williams
