Former Alabama receiver Jameson Williams is one of the most electrifying receivers in the 2022 NFL Draft class.

Now, teams and fans will get an update on Williams that they can see for themselves, since a video was posted to Twitter on Sunday evening.
Check out the video that was posted by Rocky Arceneaux on Twitter.
The buzz around Williams in the past few weeks is likely to earn him even more money in the upcoming draft. After this video, his stock could be boosted even more. He definitely appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery timeline. Regardless of the recovery timeline, a certain NFL franchise will be getting an electrifying receiver that can take the rock the distance every time his hands touch the football.
Jameson Williams college football career
For the first two seasons of his college football career, Williams didn’t find the field often enough with the Ohio State Buckeyes. During his Ohio State career, the star wide receiver only caught 15 passes for 267 yards and three touchdowns. However, his story was completely rewritten since joining the Crimson Tide.
In his lone season with the Alabama Crimson Tide, Williams caught 75 passes for 1,507 yards — adding 15 touchdowns. The speedster has gone from an afterthought to a future NFL Draft first-round selection.
During the season, his 1,507 receiving yards ranked fifth in the country. His 15 touchdown catches ranked second in the country. Last but not least, here’s a stat that demonstrates his highly explosive nature: Williams had more touchdowns of 70 yards, 60 yards, 50 yards, 40 yards, 30 yards, and 20 yards, than any other receiver in the FBS.
Not surprisingly, nearly every NFL Draft analyst in the country has unanimously raved about Williams’ potential at the NFL level. ESPN’s Todd McShay and Mel Kiper have both raved about the uber-talented receiver in the past few months and that praise is well warranted. Blessed with 4.3 speed, there’s simply not another receiver in the 2022 NFL Draft that can do the things in the open field that Williams can.
The 2022 NFL Draft begins on Thursday, April 28 at 8:00 PM EST.
