## 2026 Outlook

Williams had a quietly excellent rookie season, appearing in all 17 games with 5 starts and grading as the 15th-best coverage corner in the NFL (PFF 75.6 grade). His coverage grade actually exceeded both Trent McDuffie (74.7) and Jaylen Watson (68.4) — the two starters the Chiefs traded/released. With McDuffie and Watson gone to the Rams, Williams is primed for a major increase in playing time and opportunity in 2026. (per Don't be surprised if these 9 NFL players break out in 2026)
