Triple-threat wide receiver Savion Williams is an imposing and intriguing 2025 NFL draft prospect for the Miami Dolphins. Williams can do it all, including taking snaps as a Wildcat quarterback, and returning kicks.
The former high school quarterback can line up anywhere on the field. Whether it’s taking a direct snap or playing a more traditional receiver role, getting the ball in his Williams’ hands usually leads to success.
His production steadily increased across the board as his collegiate career progressed. As a senior, he recorded 60 receptions, 611 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. He also ran 51 times for 322 yards and another six scores.
Williams also had some experience returning kicks as a freshman, so he can act as a two-phase player, as well.

Fit for Miami
The Dolphins still have to deal with the relatively cloudy
future of star receiver Tyreek Hill. The Dolphins extended Jaylen Waddle and also have 2024 rookie Malik Washington currently in their receiver room. However, those three are the only viable receivers under contract for the Dolphins heading into the 2025 offseason.
Outside of a few top-tier wide receivers on the free agent market, it’s a thin crop, so Miami could use one of
their 10 draft picks to add depth to the group. Williams could slide in as a fourth wide receiver, and could even be a creative solution in the run game on third- and fourth-and-short plays.
Professional coaching and development could turn Williams into a viable weapon all over the Dolphins offense. He even threw three passes last season and completed them all for a total of 22 yards and a touchdown.
“He can throw it farther than all the TCU quarterbacks,”
The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman wrote in 2023. “He threw it about 20 yards further — it was like every bit of 80 yards,” quarterback Chandler Morris told Feldman. “And with no warm-up. That’s just straight God-given, dude.”
Bottom line
Williams needs to work on his hands to limit his drops (
PFF credited him with eight in 2024), but he could be a fantastic gadget player early in his career, while he develops his skills as a professional wide-out. There is also refinement and coaching needed in the game. But as a prospect to groom, Williams has all the talent necessary to turn into a consistent playmaker at the pro level.
Simply put, Williams is a Swiss Army knife on offense. Whether in the slot or on the outside as a receiver, at running back, quarterback or possibly even on special teams, Williams can be a dynamic weapon for the Dolphins.
