Jameson Williams didn’t have a long career at Alabama, arriving at the Capstone by way of a transfer from Ohio State, but with the one season that he spent with Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide, he contributed in a huge way.
In 15 games played for Alabama in 2021, Williams caught 79 passes for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was the Tide’s premier receiver in a year where they desperately needed one.
Williams represents the good of the NCAA transfer portal. Where he wasn’t given a chance for the Buckeyes to get significant playing time, the transfer to Alabama likely reinvigorated him and his self-esteem enough to prove that he could be the best wideout in the receiving corp.
SiriusXM’s Pat McAfee had special guest Peter Schrager on his show on Wednesday talking about the latter’s sources and what information should be posted on social media. Schrager, while giving an example of some concrete information he has gathered, declared that he has heard from “a very good source” in the NFL that Williams could be as high as top-10 on several draft boards around the NFL.

Among the franchises picking in the top 10 with a need at wide receiver are the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans and the New York Jets.
If medical teams are confident in Williams’ ability to retain his athleticism and speed post-ACL surgery, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that he could go in the top-10 of the 2022 NFL Draft.
The first round of the NFL Draft is slated to begin on April 28 at 7:00 p.m. CDT.
