Williams: Commanders' Draft Steal

0:00On April 29th, Washington commanders scooped up White receiver Antonio Williams at the 71st overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. It's a slick addition for quarterback Jaden Daniels, and experts are calling it a third-round steal by General Manager Adam Peters. Williams was pegged as a first-round prospect coming out of Clemson, but nagging injuries knocked him down the board. He still produced solid numbers even as the Tigers tanked from top seed to missing the playoffs. DeAndre Hopkins, the Clemson alum and Perennial Pro Bowl star, gave him a huge endorsement, predicting superstardom in Washington. Peters backed that up with thorough scouting from every angle. This kid's a buttery route runner, who slips defenders with ease, snags balls like a magnet, and piles on yards after the catch. He's not the biggest frame, but he makes plays, and there's an immediate shot to contribute. Williams rolls in with a chip on a shoulder and non-stop grind, so if health holds up, he could turn this bargain into a breakout for the commanders.
