Steelers Rookie Ke’Shawn Williams Earns Big Praise After NFL Debut: ‘Fundamentally Solid’

Signing undrafted rookie wide receiver Ke’Shawn Williams to their 53-man roster on Saturday and making him their starting punt returner could have been a challenging situation for the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Acrisure Stadium against the Cleveland Browns.

A rookie making his NFL debut and having to do so as the punt returner in AFC North action can be a hairy situation. But Williams was nearly flawless against the Browns.

In the Steelers’ 23-9 win, Williams returned three punts for 30 yards, doing a nice job of getting upfield, picking up yards and avoiding any mistakes.
