“He reminds me of Mark Jackson in the NBA, always saying, ‘Mom, there’s this man,'” Watts said. “I mean, when you hear all about Ryan (Williams), you can’t get more hype about Ryan Williams. He’s got the Hollywood nickname early on. From a young age, he’s telling people he’s going to be the best wide receiver in the country. You know, at 17 years old. He skips a year. He should be a senior, going after his three-time Alabama Mr. Football title, the only one to do it twice, by the way.
“And this guy here is making big plays on a college campus. So, I mean, there’s not really enough pressure. I think the easiest way to put it is, Ryan (Williams) is who we thought he was. He’s a superstar. Some kids just shine brighter. Some guys just shine at a different level, he’s got talent. I mean, it’s not just his work ethic. He’s got hands, a catch radius. He’s fast. He’s very quick, very quick, just a lot, the complete package.”
