Kyle Williams’ NFL Draft Scouting Report
Kyle Williams has had one of the strongest offseason performances in the 2025 NFL Draft class. After routing up defenders at the Senior Bowl and testing with 4.4 speed at the NFL Combine, he’s become a regular in the early-round conversation.
Williams played three seasons at UNLV before transferring to Washington State. He caught passes from Cam Ward in 2023, and then broke out in 2024, with 70 catches for 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns. At 5’11”, 190 pounds, Williams’ length is a limitation, and his hand technique can be inconsistent at times as a catcher.
But as a route runner, he has arguably the best combination of quickness and coordination, which he weaponizes with a full release package and razor-sharp route breaks. Packaging his separation skill set with his vertical speed and RAC ability, Williams has quality movement-Z upside.

Where Does Kyle Williams Rank Among 2025’s WR Prospects?

Every cycle, there’s a WR prospect who rises through the offseason process with testing and 1-on-1 reps on the All-Star Game circuit. This cycle, that WR is Washington State’s Kyle Williams.
Coming off a 2024 campaign that featured a career-best 1,198 yards and 14 touchdowns, Williams compounded his momentum with a dominant Senior Bowl showing, using his quickness at 5’11”, 190 pounds to tear apart defensive backs in man coverage.
While Williams is more sudden and shifty than explosive, he has more than enough speed to stress defenses vertically, and his release package combined with his stem work and flexibility makes him one of the deadliest separators in this year’s class.
