New York Giants Draft Prospect: WR Savion Williams, TCU

Savion Williams has a lot of untapped potential just waiting to be unleashed, and projects to be a promising receiver once he smooths out his route running.

Savion Williams, WR

A former four-star recruit out of Marshall High School in Marshall, Texas, where he was the 29th WR in the 2020 class and the 27th player in the state of Texas.

Williams was recruited as a wide receiver but played some quarterback in high school; he’s an offensive weapon who offers a lot of upside as a Wildcat option.

Williams was an honorable mention for the All-Big 12 team and was on Bruce Feldman’s Freak’s List. Williams dropped more than 10% of his passes in college – not good!

However, he caught 75% of his contested catches, and he saw 36 of them! Unreal contested catch success, and he improved as a receiver in 2024 with a 2.10 yards per route run number. Williams can align anywhere and be used as a running back. He was invited to the Reese’s Senior Bowl but pulled out.

Weaknesses

Summary

I’m not a big fan of comparisons but former first-round pick Cordarrelle Patterson is one that makes sense for Savion Williams. He is a raw sensational athlete with intimidating size and a wonderful combination of quick feet and balance. He is just BUILT DIFFERENT.

Williams is a dangerous offensive weapon that defensive coordinators must be weary of, but can he be more than a gadget player?

Williams is raw. He’s leaving some of his potential on the field with inefficient footwork and a lack of spatial awareness once the play commences. Still, it’s difficult to not fall in love with his ceiling, especially with his incredibly high contested catch rate.

With that said, Williams isn’t a natural when catching the football – he’s just elite when battling for the ball in the air. A creative offensive coordinator will love to have Williams as an option, but development is needed.

GRADE: 6.26B
