Patriots’ Rookie WR Kyle Williams Gives Four-Word Statement on His Mindset
The New England Patriots drafted Kyle Williams with their third-round pick, 69th overall, with hopes the young rookie could provide some juice to a receiver room that needed it badly.
His 4.40s 40-yard dash time, combined with high-level quickness and burst provides a level of playmaking on the short to intermediate routes that has been missing in New England. The Washington State product is looking to make a difference in year one.
According to WEEI 93.7 FM's Meghan Ottolini, Williams explained the mental approach he has to doing just that.
"My mindset is 'don’t drop the money.' Every time the ball is there, it’s a bag of money," Williams said. "We can’t let that hit the floor, because [then] that’s somebody else’s."
Williams added that showing his ability to make plays while competing against 'top -tier' guys in the NFL is also a big part of his approach. Who better to do that against than All-Pro cornerback Christian Gonzalez?
"I think it’s an iron sharpens iron thing. Going against Gonzo is going to help me better my game,” Williams said.
At 5'11" and 190lbs, Williams is not going to wow anyone with his size. Where he makes a difference is with his speed and route running. If his hands follow suit and he stays away from drops, like he says his mindset is, we could see Williams get on the field early and often with Stefon Diggs.
The Patriots have revamped their wide receiver room over the last few seasons, which should bring a ton of competition into the fold come training camp.
