Pats' Williams poised to seize bigger role as Brown sidelined

With A.J. Brown sidelined for at least four weeks, the Patriots are counting on Kyle Williams to step into a larger role. Williams stresses he’s more than just speed, but in the season opener he played 12 snaps and wasn’t targeted, while Mack Hollins absorbed more targets and snaps. The coaching notes suggest Williams could be integrated into a reworked receiving corps, with Vrabel expressing hope he can contribute and the team adjusting personnel and schemes to leverage his speed (and to balance the loss of Brown).

Patriots Day 3: Six picks deepen depth with mixed results

The Patriots’ Day 3 class added six players to bolster the roster on both sides of the ball, with Kyle Williams positioned to grow into a bigger role and no punter added this draft. The haul creates competition at cornerback (Marcellas Dial Jr. and Kobee Minor) and along the offensive line (Marcus Bryant and James Hudson), while Dametrious Crownover looks like the favorite for the fourth tackle spot ahead of others.
