Dolphins signed 6'5 210 pound receiver Stephen Williams today. Williams had a good pre-season with Seattle last season and is similar to Brian Tyms.

#Dolphins signed WR Stephen Williams (Toledo) and DB Demetrius Wright (USC). Waived WR Ryan Lankford (Illinois).
Overview
Williams is a good sized receiver with excellent ball skills but is very raw and will need a lot of work when it comes to running routes and setting defenders up. He has natural hands as well as the ability to react and adjust to slightly off-target throws and should find his early success as an inside red zone receiver that can use his size and ball skills to catch the ball over the middle and in traffic. He will high point catches and shows excellent concentration and competitiveness when in a crowd. He tends to telegraph his cuts and can be a bit choppy in and out of his breaks.
Analysis
Strengths
Very tall with a wide frame and good bulk. Has large soft hands and catches the ball away from his chest. Fluid in the air and uses his body to shield defenders and grab passes in traffic. High points the ball well and is a mismatch in the red zone.
Weaknesses
Route running skills are very raw and he struggles to separate from defenders. Does not disguise his routes and leads defenders to the ball. Lacks premier top-end speed and does not stretch the field. Stays high and lacks the lateral agility to consistently make plays after the catch.
6'5" is a number none of Miami's other receivers have. If you were looking for a red zone target that dude might be one. What's the worst that can happen? He stinks and is gone.
