Williams’ combination of speed and fluidity helps him keep in-phase with his target. However, it’s his ball skills that separate him. He has a knack for jumping the route and hauling in the interception. Williams also excels at tracking the ball in the deep part of the field.

He is a major threat to create turnovers because he is also very opportunistic. His feel for when to take a risk makes him special.

Williams shows the ability to be a strong leader. He can often be found communicating with his teammates and ensuring they are in proper position. This shows the ability to lead both vocally and by example.
