Rookie role for Terrance Williams

At some point during the pre-draft season, there was talk that Baylor's Terrance Williams could end up being drafted in the latter portion of the first round. Reality set in on the weekend of the actual draft, and he lasted until the third round, where the Dallas Cowboys snagged him. WR wasn't a huge need for Dallas -- with Dez Bryant and Miles Austin in the mix -- but Williams could play a key role in his rookie season nevertheless.
Since Laurent Robinson's magical 2011 campaign as the Cowboys' No. 3 WR -- 54 receptions for 858 yards and 11 TDs -- and subsequent departure, folks have been wondering who would come on and replace him in the lineup. Dallas didn't really settle on anyone there in 2012, so perhaps Williams can fill that vacancy. However, in order for him to do so, he'll have to improve his hands, as the Dallas Morning News reports that Williams struggled at times to catch the ball during rookie minicamp, and stayed after practices to work with the JUGS machine.
He's a goddamn receiver...how do players that have this issue get to the NFL level? I just read about him that he's better at catching passes over the shoulder than ones that come directly to his chest. That blows my mind, lol.
Hopefully he shores up all aspects of his catching game - I'd love to see him get some action this year.
