The Patriots\u2019 aerial attack is slated to look much different in 2025 than in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n

After three years of unserious offense, head coach Mike Vrabel began his tenure by returning credibility to Foxboro. Josh McDaniels\u2019 return puts a proven leader and play-caller back at OC, while signings Stefon Diggs<\/a> and Mack Hollins should shore up the short-intermediate pass games. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"The offense still lacked a home run threat entering the draft, and they addressed the need with<\/span>\u00a0one of this class’s best values.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Kyle Williams was named a Freshman All-American at UNLV, but otherwise flew under the radar until his fifth college season and second at Washington State. The 22-year-old was a premier deep threat in 2024, ranking 2nd in catch rate, contested catch rate, and yards per route run on targets of 20+ air yards.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Williams can hit home runs from all three levels, his vertical prowess should help unlock franchise quarterback Drake Maye’s rare arm talent<\/a>. EVP of Player Personnel Eliot Wolf praised Williams’ alignment versatility, effectiveness with the ball in his hands, and exceptional toughness for an undersized player.<\/p>\n

“He doesn’t shy away from anything,” Wolf said. “He can block. Had the opportunity to visit with him on his 30 visit here, and he really has a great personality, and we’re excited about what he’s going to add from that perspective.”<\/p>\n
