If anyone had questions about his straight line speed they didn’t watch much of his tape. Yes, he’s a difference maker on a team as likely a third/fourth rounder. With guys running in the 4.2s now I wouldn’t say he has elite speed but considering how good of a route runner he is, he’s plenty fast enough.
He is plenty fast enough because you don't only look at straight line speed.
Kyle Williams in addition to his straight line speed is, has:
1. Has shake and bake, juking, cutting, Shifty, change of direction on a dime, break DB ankles ability that allows him to get open, create separation.
They, there is a drill that measures that ability, on how quickly the WR gets off the line, doesn't get jammed, fakes out the DB, creates separation, gets open, catches pass, etc, and Kyle Williams broke the Drill record at both the Senior Bowl, Combine.
It's even on You Tube Video.
They call that QUICKNESS. And Kyle Williams is either one of the Quickest or the QUICKEST WR in the draft, and has been compared to the Quickness of some of the NFL WR greats.
2. Kyle Williams is a awesome route runner.
3. Kyle Williams is a vacuum cleaner as far as almost always catching the ball. If the ball is even close to him or remotely catchable, Kyle Williams will probably catch it.
4. Kyle Williams has excellent body control and usually finds a way to make spectacular sideline out catches and get, keep a foot, feet in bounds, so that catch is good, and not a out of bounds catch.
5. Kyle Williams has awesome YAC ability. He catches balls in stride, makes defenders miss, makes a move, makes at least 1 defender miss and goes north and south, and does not go east, west..
6. Kyle Williams has awesome vision, and sees holes, creases we'll, and follows blockers well.
7. Kyle Williams has awesome short BURST speed.
8. Kyle Williams blocks well for RB's, other WR's, QB, etc.
Combine all that to go with his semi awesome, semi elite 4.4 40 speed, and ALL THAT combined together is what makes Kyle Williams so dangerous.
His only 1 drawback is he isn't tall enough to be considered a post up, endzone, sideline possession receiver, but he even overcomes that with superior jumping ability.
Yeah sure there are receivers who run in the 4.2's, but they can't do all the things that Kyle Williams can do.
Yeah sure there are taller 6-6 possession receivers, but they can't do all the things Kyle Williams does, as well as Kyle Williams can do them.
But because Kyle Williams doesn't run in 4.2's and isn't 6-7 tall, Kyle Williams is last pick of 1st round, 1st pick of 2nd round at best, and last pick of 2nd round, 1st pick of 3rd round at worst, that could slide to last pick of 4th round at ultimate worst.
But despite that Kyle Williams is worthy of a 1st round draft pick, and whoever drafts him will be getting a awesome steal of a pick, as Kyle Williams will probably be one of the best, if not the best rookie WR's in the draft, and will probably have a awesome career as a WR in the NFL.
