Alabama has seen some excellent wide receiver talent come through the Crimson Tide program, which was then finely tuned at the hands of Nick Saban and his coaching staff, and then those stars were drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Jameson Williams may be the next example of why Alabama has become ‘WRU.’ He is in his first year with the program after transferring from Ohio State, where he spent his first two seasons.
In only one year with the Crimson Tide, Williams had tallied 68 receptions for 1,445 yards and 15 touchdowns. Oh, and he has at least one game left, potentially two.
With his success in 2021, Williams has shot up draft boards and mock drafts, while he was originally not even expected to enter the draft in 2022 because he really wasn’t on anyone’s radar.
Based on the latest mock drafts and data compiled by the Mock Draft Database, Williams is projected to go first round with the consensus landing spot being No. 13 to the New Orleans Saints.
Here are five recent mock drafts, which all have the star wide receiver landing within the top-15.
- CBS Sports – No. 7 overall, New York Jets
- DraftWire – No. 13 overall, New Orleans Saints
- 247 Sports – No. 13 overall, New Orleans Saints
- San Diego Union Tribune – No. 14 overall, Las Vegas Raiders
- Pro Football Network – No. 11 overall, Philadelphia Eagles
