I'd imagine it's easier to teach a guy to run routes correctly than it is to catch the ball?

You can make some really specular catches in traffic and contested catches, so it's not a coordination thing, I think it's more a focus thing.

I seen some high opinions and clips of his route running, I think it's more about route adjustments and nuances when it comes to choice routes that are so prevalent in the NFL.

Seemed like a weird pick at first - the hands thing - but as you explain it, maybe he can improve and be a real weapon. Or at least block like a mutha.

GB has a history of taking guys with meh hands and getting them to improve. It can be done with lots of practice with the Juggs machine. Given his success rate in contested catches and with having some highlight reel catches as well I suspect it's a focus or lazy technique issue he can clean up.

Williams was mocked as a late R3 early R4, so I wouldn't call him a reach from that standpoint. I just didn't agree with him being mocked that high lol.

He's not a deep threat but he does give them a creative piece. His YAC stats are a little meh, but he has the traits. As a checkdown/bubble screen/sweep guy he'll be fine, and probably an upgrade over Reed in that regard. Has the size to block and to withstand hits. Seems like a hard worker, good character guy.
Personally I would have leaned toward Royals or Ayomanor, but he's fine. Comparing him to Deebo is a stretch. I'm sure they will have some plays for him, and that alone makes him a better pick than Jace Sternberger.

I'm looking forward to hearing the camp reports and seeing how he looks in preseason.

I think he'd be extra motivated if the Packers brought in this Juggs machine.
