Did he run more than 2 routes at 'Bama? I'm being serious when I ask that. Because one of the (rumored) knocks on him at tOSU was that Wilson, and especially Olave, had more developed route trees. tOSU likes to be able to use their WRs interchangeably to create mismatches and Williams couldn't get all the different routes down. All I can really tell you is that tOSU, like 'Bama, is going to put who they consider the best WRs out there. And for Williams time there, Olave, Wilson, and eventually a Freshman (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) saw the field before he did.
Edit: He did start the last six games of the 2020 season for the Buckeyes. But, Smith-Njigba was eating at his time even then.
