"The New England Patriots left nothing to hide with their strategy for the 2025 NFL Draft back in April. With their first four selections, they went all-in on offense. The Patriots added a pair of now locked-in starting offensive linemen in left tackle Will Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson. They splashed in Round 2 with electric Ohio State running back TreVeyon Henderson."
"Through the quarter-mark of the 2025 regular season, the Patriots have gotten strong returns from three of those rookies. The clear outlier? That would be Williams, who's seen the fewest offensive snaps (40) of any Patriots receiver entering Week 5, according to Pro Football Focus. Is it time for fans to worry about New England Patriots rookie WR Kyle Williams?"
The Patriots prioritized offense in the 2025 draft, using early picks on offensive line, running back TreVeyon Henderson, and wide receiver Kyle Williams. Three of the offense-focused rookies have produced strong returns through the quarter-mark of the season, while Williams trails as the clear outlier. Williams logged 40 offensive snaps entering Week 5, the fewest among Patriots receivers per Pro Football Focus. New England features veterans Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, and Mack Hollins ahead of Williams on the depth chart, limiting target opportunities. Williams has two targets in four games, catching both for 20 yards, and played a season-high 14 snaps against Carolina without a target.
