Commanders Snag WR Antonio Williams, Boost Offense

0:00On April 25th, Washington commanders just snagged wide receiver Antonio Williams from Clemson with the 71st pick in the 2026 NFL. Draft. They're hurting for help at Whiteout, and this move feels a big gap opposite Terry McLaren. Earlier this week, the Tennessee Titans jumped in at number 4 overall to take Carnell Tate, throwing a wrench in Washington's top target plans. But the commanders adapted quick and locked in this versatile playmaker instead. Williams spent four seasons with the Tigers, sitting out most of a sophomore year after early injuries. He bounced back strong as a junior and senior, leading Clemson and catches both times with 130 receptions, 1,500, 8 yards, and 15 touchdowns. He's got that slot receiver build, but real athletic pop rushes the ball too, and even airs it out sometimes. Now he's set to give Jaden Daniels a reliable option in the offense this fall. Commander's fans should feel good about this depth edition. It sets up real competition and fire power come training camp.
