Williams logged 29 routes, lining up 20 times in the slot, 12 out wide, four as an in-line tight end, and four in the backfield. He stepped into the third-receiver role, with Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant seeing limited snaps. Williams also functioned as a secondary running back, as Kaleb Johnson and Pierre Strong handled majority backfield duties. The Packers appear intent on utilizing Williams in multiple roles, leveraging his versatility to bolster the offense.
Looking ahead, Williams’ rookie-season usage averaged diverse positions and responsibilities, including 38 snaps in the slot, 27 outside, 16 in the backfield, seven as a tight end, and a few direct snaps. He finished his rookie year with 10 receptions for 78 yards and 11 rushes for 37 yards, with a preference for short targets (average depth of target around 1.7 yards). Through his early-season involvement in his second year, Williams is getting more opportunities and could expand his role further as the season progresses.
