New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Kyle Williams was seen working out against a potential future rival in the New York Jets‘ two-time All-Pro cornerback, Sauce Gardner.
A video was posted to athletic trainer Akil Bordelon’s Instagram stories featuring Williams, Gardner, Miami Dolphins safety Ashton Davis and Patriots rookie wide receiver Jeremiah Webb. The work between Williams and Gardner could be a preview of the 2025 season with the Patriots and Jets squaring off twice on the regular season schedule.

Williams, who has received high praise since being drafted, was viewed as the best pure separator in the 2025 NFL draft class. Few could test him as well as Gardner, who is one of the best young corners in the league. Getting a good look at an elite opponent from another team can only mean good things for Williams.
Williams’ trajectory is certainly promising, as he looks to make an impact early in his career. Training camp will be the real test with 12 players currently vying for a spot on the 53-man roster. How well can Williams stand out in the crowd?
The answer to that question will decide the trajectory of his rookie season.
