Hill was likely referencing Williams' ridiculous across-the-body throw on the run deep down the sidelines to Rome Odunze. The throw emulated Mahomes' untouchable skill of making off-platform throws on the run with accuracy.

At halftime, Williams recorded 75 passing yards from 6-of-13 completions. His seven-yard rushing touchdown marked his only score and rushing attempt. He took just one sack in the first half for a six-yard loss, too.
His preseason appearances are already putting his name on the map.
