FOXBORO — The Patriots are loading up on offense in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Patriots selected Washington State wide receiver Kyle Williams 69th overall. The 5-foot-11, 190-pound wide receiver caught 70 passes for 1,198 yards with 14 touchdowns as the Cougars’ X wide receiver in 2024.

The 22-year-old pass catcher began his college career at UNLV before transferring to Washington State in 2023. He had 248 receptions for 3,608 yards with 29 touchdowns in five college seasons.

Williams gets added to a crowded wide receiver group that already includes Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker. Selecting Williams creates an odd man out at the position for the 2025 season.

The Washington State product ran a 4.40-second 40-yard dash, 1.53-second 10-yard split, 36.5-inch vertical leap and 9-feet, 11-inch broad jump at the NFL Scouting Combine.

He does have some outside-inside versatility at the NFL level. He lined up in the slot in 25.3% of his 2024 snaps. His 14 touchdown receptions ranked fourth in the FBS.

Williams was a big-play threat at Washington State with 14 catches of 20-plus yards on 24 targets for 454 yards with six touchdowns. He also added nine carries for 57 yards in 2024.
