The thought of the New York Giants pairing wide receivers Malik Nabers and Amon-Ra St. Brown borders on unfair.
Leek is coming off a season-ending ACL injury in 2025, but when he’s healthy, the 22-year-old looks every bit like the league’s next top receiver. His first step is already among the best, and the separation he creates with that, paired with his speed, acceleration, and route running, makes him tough to deal with.
Now imagine all of that with St. Brown's consistency and ability to get open whenever he wants -- or someone cut from that same cloth. In Lauren Gray’s article for Pro Football Focus, she sees shades of St. Brown in Clemson’s Antonio Williams, who should get serious looks from the G-Men with the 37th pick on Day 2 of the draft (or a bit later in the second if they trade back for more draft assets).
Giants might have their Amon-Ra St. Brown sitting at No. 37
Williams' draft projection is all over the map. He ranges anywhere from late first round to early fourth, with most analysts having him go somewhere in the second. But one thing remains constant: he's regarded as an elite route runner, with great quickness and yard-after-catch ability.
Funny, that sounds eerily similar to Gray's analysis (not to get confused with Grey's Anatomy) on why the 21-year-old could be the next St. Brown look-alike:
"Williams is 2 inches shorter than St. Brown (6-foot-1) but has graded equally well from the slot, with a ninth-ranked 92.3 PFF receiving grade. His PFF receiving grade on the outside (62.7) is also similar to St. Brown’s coming out of college.
In all, Williams caught 130 passes for 1,519 yards and 15 scores over his final two seasons. He averaged 9.1 depth yards per target but still tied for 13th in explosive gains (41) and averaged 2.14 yards per route run.
Like St. Brown, Williams finished with 70.0-plus PFF receiving grades in multiple target situations. He performed well against both coverage schemes in 2025 (75.6 PFF receiving grade against man, 74.1 against zone) and ranks in the top 15 in the draft class in pressure (75.7) and blitz situations (83.4) since 2024."
What I’m hearing is the former Clemson standout is the perfect slot replacement for Wan’Dale Robinson, but with a much higher floor and ceiling. At worst, he's a versatile, high-IQ slot receiver who excels at creating immediate separation, addressing the need for a reliable chain-mover. He'd instantly be a safety valve for franchise quarterback Jaxson Dart, giving him a short-yardage weapon with the ability to create.
An offense featuring Nabers, Williams, Isaiah Likely, and Theo Johnson, with Cam Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy Jr. out of the backfield, feels like a pretty safe bet to be borderline diabolical in the best way on Sundays.
And if we're operating in the trust tree, even if Williams is 70% of what the four-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro is, that'd be a massive get for Big Blue. The Lions superstar has 547 receptions for 6,252 yards and 44 touchdowns in his first five seasons as a pro.
This would be a slam-dunk pick for Joe Schoen and Co., especially if they're able to trade back a little later in the second to get him and add another third or fourth pick. Matt Nagy's offense could come out swinging in Year 1.
