The story
Ryan Williams wins in space, not on size — good explosiveness out of his stance and slippery work after the catch, per Best Available — even as his box score bent the wrong way over two seasons at Alabama. The model's career-value board slots him at No. 10 overall for 2027, but zero public big boards list him at all, a gap that says more about visibility than about the crystal ball. The traits split the difference: deep-ball tracking that flashes special and a drop problem that has to get cleaned up.
