I think I’m up to about 97 times now.

Never ever seen that combo of skills. Body control, hands, agility, acceleration.

Still can't believe he did that against Georgia. Reminds me of what amari Cooper used to do on the field. Like he was just on a different level than everyone else

He’s a mix of Jeudy and Waddle.

That was all Ryan Williams. Great catch and YAC.

I was in the “let’s temper our expectations” camp when he committed , but damn that kid is special. I thought it before tonight but now I know it.

I wanna know how he saw the other defender coming and knew to put in the brakes. Reminded me of Palmer.

He reminds me more of Coop and Smitty because he has natural in-air ball skills and better game speed in pads on a football field than in shorts on a track. Though I will admit the dude got those moves like Juedy after the catch.

Spin moves like Lacey did against DL’s or LB’s are impressive and can be done.

A normal human being cannot spin move 2 elite DB’s. It’s not possible.

But here we are.

I think Cooper and Smith were the best route runners we've ever had. As good is Ryan is now, imagine how good he'll be with near their level of route running

Williams has the potential to be one of the greats to play at WR at Alabama and this is a school that has created a reputation at that position over the last two decades. His So and Jr years ought to be something

From where we were sitting, it was an exciting play, but I couldn’t fully appreciate it until I watched it on the phone. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but he has a legitimate chance to be the best receiver we’ve ever had. The body control is on another level.

Honestly, the 50+ yarder he caught in the 3rd quarter was possibly more impressive in terms of body control and reaction. He should've caught it easily but managed to keep his eyes on the ball and contorted himself to secure the catch. Seeing how that drive ended with the FGM and his other catch scored the 8 points (after Bernard's 2pt conversion), RW essentially contributed to all 11 points scored in the 2nd half.

The two unbelievable plays tonight that he made - I've NEVER seen another receiver do these things. His ability after the catch is unreal.

I can't compare him to anyone. He's a true one-of-one.

We've had a lot of talented WRs come through here over the past 20 years - including at least 1 HOF receiver in Julio. Not a single one of them had this much success and this much impact so early in their careers here.

He's not just making catches - he's a gamechanger. He's winning games for us. He's making jaw-dropping plays and we're 4 games into his 17 year-old season.

This dude is something else
