Overview
- Washington, which picked in the third round Friday, selected Williams with the No. 71 pick to bolster its receiver group.
- Evaluators expect him to work mainly from the slot with the flexibility to line up outside, a view the team reinforced.
- The selection drew strong reviews from analysts who praised his precise routes and yards-after-catch skills.
- After the pick, Williams called himself a “smooth operator” and he left Clemson with 207 catches, 2,320 yards and 21 touchdowns.
- The move follows a winter search for receiver help that missed on Romeo Doubs and Alec Pierce before signings of Van Jefferson and Dyami Brown.
