"Williams was a very productive player in college. He finished his career with over 3,600 yards over five seasons, three at UNLV and two with the Cougars. During his two seasons at State, he broke out, totaling 2,040 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns; he averaged over 17 yards per catch during his final year. While his hands were questioned through the draft process, his speed was not. He ran a 4.4 40-yard. dash, tied for 11th among all receivers in his class."
"He had two catches for 20 yards through the first three weeks, then went six weeks without a catch. His third catch of the year came against Tampa Bay this past weekend, a crossing route that resulted in a 72-yard catch and run for a touchdown. The Patriots had struggled to move the ball early in the game, but the long touchdown jump-started the offense at the end of the first quarter."
Kyle Williams joined the New England Patriots with the 69th overall pick to strengthen a receiving corps led by Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and Mack Hollins. He amassed over 3,600 collegiate receiving yards across five seasons, including 2,040 yards and 20 touchdowns in two seasons at Washington State, and averaged more than 17 yards per catch in his final year.

After an early-season dry spell, Williams recorded a 72-yard touchdown that energized the offense and kept his first touchdown ball.
