He analyzed Williams’ potential with Kaiden Smith of On3 on The On3 Round Table.

“He reminds me of Mark Jackson in the NBA, saying, ‘Mama, there goes that guy,'” Watts said. “I mean, everything you see about Ryan (Williams), you can’t have more hype around Ryan Williams. He’s got the nickname Hollywood early on. He’s been telling people at a young age that he’s going to be the best wide receiver in the country. You know, 17 years old. He’s skipping a year, he should be a senior going for his three-time Alabama Mr. Football, the only two-time winner by the way.

“And this guy is out here on a college campus making big plays. So, I mean, there’s not really enough heat. I guess the simplest way to say it is, Ryan (Williams) is who we thought he was. He’s a superstar. Some guys just shine brighter. Some people just shine on a different level, he’s got talent. I mean, it’s not just that he’s got a work ethic. He’s got hands, he’s got a catch radius. He’s fast. He’s really fast, really quick, just a lot, the complete package.”
