Everyone is familiar with the expression “speed kills” but rarely does one find a prospect with true game-changing speed and playmaking ability. Alabama’s Jameson Williams is the definition of speed and explosiveness at the position it can matter most, wide receiver. The Ohio State transfer stepped into the Crimson Tide offense and immediately became the team’s most productive target. Williams was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award and finished the season with 79 receptions, 1572 yards, 15 touchdowns and averaged 19.9 yards per catch.
Jameson had the type of speed that can open up any offense and with the increased emphasis on creating explosive plays, his game fits like a puzzle piece in today’s NFL and potentially for the Dallas Cowboys. Williams tore his ACL on January 10th in the National Championship game and did not work out at the Scouting Combine, however, Williams states he is ahead of schedule in his return.
“I was hearing five to seven months, but I’m hearing I’m ahead of schedule,” Williams said in mid-March. “I’m six weeks out of surgery right now. I’ve been walking without the brace for two weeks, without the crutch for three weeks. Hopefully things keep going on this track, and I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
