2019 stats: James was a pretty excellent special teams player back in high school. As a senior last year, he hit 52 out of 53 extra points, 4 of 5 field goals and had a 35.8-yard average on his punts. That last bit’s not as impressive, but the Syracuse Orange are not deterred given their track record with punters.
2020 projections: Williams is likely to get thrown right into the mix at punter, though he’ll have some stiff competition.
