He is tiny, so durability is a concern.

Hoping he or Lees claims that spot instead of having to spend on a FA like Westbrook.

Jimmie Robinson is the same size as Pooka Williams.
Robinson - 5'8", 175 lb
Pooka - 5'8, 175 lb

Robinson has 4.28 speed whereas Pooka has 4.38.

Robinson has a lot of KR experience and success (29.2 avg on 55 attempts with 4 TD in 2018-2019), but he really wasn't that good of a WR on a team that played in the MEAC, which is very weak competition. He did rush for 536 yards on 63 attempts (8.5 avg) in 2018-2019.
Meanwhile, Pooka has also been good on KRs (24.6 avg on 18 attempts with 1 TD), and he's been a dynamic rusher and receiver at RB in the Big 12.
No way could Pooka play RB in the NFL, but I think he can easily make the transition to slot and gadget WR while also doing ST. Maybe same with Robinson.

Should be interesting to see if either Robinson or Pooka makes the roster.
