Wide receiver Ryan Williams was a phenom for the Alabama Crimson Tide as a freshman.

He may have been outshined a bit by Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith, but there's no doubting Williams' production for the Tide.

He caught 48 passes for 865 yards and eight touchdowns, and let's not forget that one of those touchdowns looked like this: Ryan Williams is 17 years old out there making grown men look silly on 75 Yard Touchdown catch and RUN.

Think I saw him Moss a guy then go for a find 2-split 2 into a Reggie Bush step back to a Tyreek Hill sprint down the sideline.

He's been known for having his nails painted before games, and he revealed that it's a tradition he has with his little sister.

He lets her paint his nails.

As such, this NIL deal he's signed is quite apropos.

According to Rivals, he'll be representing the nail polish brand, Sally Hansen.

Spooky! @KulhaSports.
