Trading for DeAndre Hopkins added some fangs to a depleted Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver room, but the defending Super Bowl champions still need to attack the position this offseason.
TCU Horned Frogs wideout Savion Williams offers the elite athletic traits and unique alignment versatility to add a new dynamic to Kansas City’s offense.
Williams possesses one of the most unique athletic profiles in the 2025 NFL draft. According to Senior Bowl Director Jim Nagy’s verified measurements, Williams is 6’3 3/4″ and 228 lbs. with arms that extend past 33 inches. The Horned Frogs recently found success lining Williams up in the backfield for handoffs and routes.

Despite his size, Williams is an explosive athlete with elite speed. According to Reel Analytics, he reached a top speed of 21.7 miles per hour on a 75-yard receiving touchdown against Texas Tech earlier this year. Bruce Feldman for The Athletic claimed several of Williams’ top athletic feats include hitting 22.5 miles per hour, squatting 600 lbs. and posting 40 inches in the vertical jump.
Williams’ fluidity pops for an athlete with his size. He makes some sharp cuts in his routes with impressive deceleration and tight turns. He dominates at the catch point, hauling in more than 70% of his contested catch attempts. Williams’ vertical, catch radius and ball tracking make him a red zone menace.
Williams makes his best contributions with the ball in his hands, which is why TCU moved him to a hybrid role. His route tree needs development, and he struggles to stack corners downfield despite his blazing top speed. Williams is a better pure athlete than true receiver at this point in his development.
TCU plays 3-6 Oklahoma State at home on Saturday, Nov. 9 at 6:00 p.m. CST. The Cowboys dropped their last six games after starting the season 3-0. TCU’s last three games all came down to single-score differentials.
