During his five-year tenure at TCU, Williams showcased his multifaceted abilities. In his final season, he amassed 60 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns, while also contributing 322 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns. Notably, he became the first TCU player since 2017 to record a receiving, rushing, and passing touchdown in the same season.
Williams’ journey to the NFL was marked by his adaptability and athleticism. Originally a quarterback in high school, he transitioned to wide receiver at TCU, where he also took on wildcat quarterback duties during his senior year. His performance at the 2025 NFL Combine, where he clocked a 4.48-second 40-yard dash, further highlighted his explosive speed and potential as a playmaker.
The Packers’ selection of Williams aligns with their strategic focus on enhancing their receiving corps. With the addition of first-round pick Matthew Golden and the return of Williams, Green Bay aims to bolster its offensive lineup and provide quarterback Jordan Love with a diverse set of targets.
Beyond his receiving capabilities, Williams’ background as a former quarterback and his experience in various offensive roles position him as a versatile asset for the Packers. His potential to contribute in multiple facets of the game adds depth to Green Bay’s offensive strategy.
As Williams embarks on his professional career with the Packers, his journey from a high school quarterback to an NFL wide receiver exemplifies his dedication and adaptability. With his unique skill set and determination, Williams is poised to make a significant impact in the NFL.
