The New York Giants aren’t necessarily starving for wide receiver bodies, but that shouldn't stop them from kicking the tires on a potential Day 3 weapon There's always room for change.
According to Dan Duggan of The Athletic, the team recently hosted TCU wideout Savion Williams for a pre-draft visit—and there’s no doubt he’s one of the more intriguing names flying under the radar in this year’s class.
Williams isn’t your typical mid-round prospect. At 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds, he’s built like a Greek statue and was a Bruce Feldman “Freaks List” favorite for good reason. He’s raw, no doubt. But when it comes to size, speed, and raw athleticism, he’s got tools you just can’t teach.
And with depth behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Wan’Dale Robinson still in question, this visit could be a little bit more than just an interview. The Giants are clearly looking for a complementary piece that brings something different to the table. Big Blue doesn't have a reliable receiver over 6-foot-1, so, different indeed.
Giants host TCU's Savion Williams for a visit
Dan Duggan reported the visit: “More Giants pre-draft visitors, per source: TCU WR Savion Williams, Oklahoma State LB Collin Oliver and Oklahoma State CB Korie Black.”
While all three prospects are worth keeping tabs on, Williams is the clear headliner.
A former four-star recruit, Williams brings freakish athleticism and gadget versatility to the table. He’s been used on jet sweeps, wildcat snaps, and out of the backfield at TCU, and when he’s locked in, he’s an absolute nightmare after the catch. He averaged over six yards per carry in 2024 and caught 8-of-9 contested targets—a wild stat for someone still figuring out the receiver position.
Williams led TCU with 611 receiving yards on 60 catches and six touchdowns in 2024, and he hit 10-foot-6 on the broad jump while posting a 40-inch vertical. He also squatted 600 pounds, bench-pressed 355, power cleaned 350, and was clocked at 22.5 miles per hour. Oh, and the former high school quarterback (also a plus) can reportedly throw the ball 80 yards.
Of course, there are real concerns. His drop rate in college hovered above 10%, and his route running is more backyard ball than polished pro. But the flashes are there. And when you’re a bigger-bodied receiver with verified burst and straight-line juice, teams are going to be interested.
Williams profiles more as a “joker” or offensive chess piece than a true WR2 right now, but that could actually work in his favor in New York. He wouldn’t need to be a volume guy out of the gate—just a matchup problem who adds a new layer to Mike Kafka’s scheme.
If the Giants are eyeing another Day 3 swing at the receiver spot, don’t be shocked if Williams hears his name called. He’s big, fast, versatile… and very much on their radar.
