What NFL Draft analysts are saying about Savion Williams

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein provided his evaluation of Williams and what he can become as a pro. His pro comparison is Cordarrelle Patterson.

“Developmental wideout who offers an alluring blend of physical gifts and untapped potential,” Zierlein wrote in his evaluation of Williams. “Williams is big, strong and fast but very raw as a route-runner and is unreliable with his hands. His production is uneven as a traditional wideout, but he adds a dynamic kick to the offense as a gadget runner and as a catch-and-run option underneath. He excels on power sweeps and is willful enough for consideration on short-yardage and goal-line carries on direct snaps.

“The ball skills can be hit-or-miss. but there are flashes to work with on tape. The difference between “siren song” or “pot of gold” could rest in Williams’ technical development and the creativity of his play-caller.
