Elyiss Williams As A Player
247 Sports has this young man ranked as the number two tight end and the 40th overall player. It’s not a bad company to be in for such a niche position. As a player, Elyiss has tremendous raw talent both in catch passing ability, as well as route running. As far as skill players go, there is definite room for improvement.

Elyiss Williams Devy Outlook
With those with keen eyes for the future let us dive into the fantasy relevance that Elyiss Williams presents. This young man has a dual ability to provide protection with his size, as well as offer an assortment of mixed-matched coverage, similar to that of Rob Gronkowski. Now that is not his NFL comparison, but rather that is the kind of mix-matched coverage Elyiss Williams can draw.
There is plenty of upside with pass-catching ability and talent to run routes and make the hard catches look easy. Two players come to mind that are good equivalents to this young man. Size-wise and talent is Julius Thomas, the former Denver Bronco fourth-round pick. Skill ability is similar to that of young talent for the LV Raiders in Brock Bowers. If this is the company that Elyiss Williams will be in, well hang on to your hats because this young man is going places. As far as rankings go, let’s go bold, and with great development, it can be seen as high as TE 1, and as low as TE 5.
In essence, draft confidently in a very scarce and desolate position. Elyiss Williams could be the answer for many teams that are looking to get back in the game at the tight end position. We have been long bereft of elite tight ends, but the tide will soon be turning as Elyiss Williams is one of a few great talents that will soon be making their way into the NFL draft boards, and high up on them to say the least. Draft confidently in this young man.
