Giardi: With a bigger opportunity, Williams needs to shine; plus, Jones reunites with Vrabel
Boston Sports Journal • • sports
Key Points:
- Kyle Williams expresses strong confidence in his abilities beyond just speed, indicating he can contribute significantly when given opportunities.
- With A.J. Brown placed on injured reserve for at least four weeks, the Patriots are looking to Williams as a key player to step up in the receiving corps.
- Patriots coach Mike Vrabel is hopeful Williams can leverage his speed and create catch-and-run plays, similar to moments seen last season.
- In the season opener, Williams had limited involvement, playing 12 snaps without being targeted, while Mack Hollins' role and snap count increased significantly following Brown's injury.
- Williams’ lack of experience compared to Hollins may prompt the Patriots to adjust their offensive strategy and personnel usage while Brown is sidelined.
