Patriots receiver Kyle Williams, a third-round pick in 2025, had only 10 catches as a rookie, and only two in four postseason games. He’s hoping to make a major improvement in 2026.

Per Reiss, Williams says he’s in the range of 190 to 193 pounds.
Williams hopes to do more work in the middle of the field. He’s also intent on building chemistry with quarterback Drake Maye and mastering the team’s playbook.
