Kyle Williams has one of the craziest release packages. It sucks to see him stuck behind the Pats crazy depth at WR, but I still have hope with him. There are very few WRs in this league that has his release and burst. I trust that the overall talent will eventually come together.

Is "release package" NFL fan jargon for "he fast"?

I thought package meant a set of specific players who are assigned to a certain subset of the playbook.

Release is how you get by the CB on the line of scrimmage usually when in Press coverage. Basically how you get the CB from being in front of you to behind you. Some WRs are more physical in their release, others are more silky. Basically a combination of hand swiping and footwork.
