The Patriots selected Williams in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 69th overall.

EDGE Analysis

Williams (5-foot-11, 190 pounds) might lack the hands to run routes into the teeth of the defense underneath and over the middle, but as a speed-oriented downfield threat he could prove credible in the NFL. Williams produced at a high level for both UNLV (2020-2022) and Washington State (2023-2024), and as a big-play specialist he was particularly convincing. Williams' 4.40-second 40-yard dash implies he has the speed to keep winning downfield in the NFL, and the Patriots notably lacked a vertical threat before selecting Williams.

Williams signed a contract with the Titans on Wednesday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams had 66 catches for 763 yards and seven touchdowns during his sophomore year at Arizona State, but he failed to reach 500 receiving yards in both of the two following seasons. He'll be competing for a reserve spot on Tennessee's roster in training camp.
