Seth Williams - Wide Receiver Auburn Tigers Scouting Report

SETH WILLIAMS | Auburn | WO | #18 | JR | 6016 | 224 | 4.49 | Cottondale, AL | Bryant HS
Overview:
A part of a sporadic passing attack for the Auburn Tigers, junior wide receiver Seth Williams is a high upside pass catcher who is just starting to tap into his long term potential. Williams is a body beautiful prospect who certainly looks the part of your traditional X receiver at the next level. He is a long limbed athlete who has surprising flexibility for his body type. Williams has a clear understanding of spacing, accelerating and taking advantage of open space. He is a catch point monster who does some exceptional work with the football in the air. There is some really nice smoothness to his game, also presenting a little more juice than you might imagine for a player this style. In the run game, Williams flashes some of the best reps from any wide receiver in the 2021 NFL Draft. He is not the best route runner in the world but it is due more to a limited route tree that Auburn implements. Williams is a physical athlete but does not offer very much after the catch. While he can get on top of defensive backs, Williams doesn’t offer much in terms of second gear to track down the field. With further development, Williams possesses some big time ability moving forward. If he is able to tap into his potential, it is his length, explosiveness and play at the catch point that could allow him to garner a high volume of opportunity down the road.
