How advice from a veteran WR helped undrafted rookie Williams stand out

“I remember my first day of OTAs, after OTAs we practiced and I talked to Kalif and I was asking him questions and he literally gave me a rundown of everything,” Williams said.

“Like, ‘This is what OTAs is going to be like. When you get back from OTAs, expect this. When you go into the offseason, make sure you’re doing this.’ He literally told me, ‘ok, when camp starts, you’re not going to get that many punts in actual practice.’ That’s why after practice we are catching punts because during practice I don’t really get that much. He said, ‘In a game, you’re going to get thrown in there.’ That’s what happened.”

Williams was asked to return punts in the preseason opener and though both resulted in a fair catch, he was smooth catching both.
