Jameson Williams (WR) – No. 21 OVR, New England Patriots
Williams was at one point expected to be the first wide receiver off the board in the 2022 NFL draft. However, a torn ACL in the national championship game forced him to fall a few spots, but remain in the first round. Now, he’s projected to land with the Patriots, who are led by quarterback Mac Jones and running back Damien Harris, both former Alabama stars.
“I projected Williams here in my debut mock in mid-January, and it is a nice fit. Williams, who tore his ACL in the national title game, had a tremendous season for the Crimson Tide, with 1,572 yards and 15 scores. He said at the combine that he’s ahead of his schedule in his recovery, but it’s possible he misses a chunk of the season while rehabbing. New England could afford to wait for a receiver with true No. 1 upside who could be a star for years to come. And we know Belichick has a history of taking Alabama stars,” writes Kiper.
