""I think they made steps in the right direction. I do think that Antonio Williams, who they drafted in the third round, is going to need to be impactful in Year 1, in a way you wouldn't necessarily want out of a third-round receiver. "One of the things I love about Jayden Daniels' game is the efficiency. He will get that ball out quickly. He will quickly find uncovered receivers. They can move the ball efficiently with him, and I think Williams is a really nice pairing with that skill set, which should be helpful.""
"The fanfare around Williams is difficult to ignore. That brings increased expectations, but the player is confident he can meet them. And having someone like Daniels under center is only going to make things easier during his critical rookie transition."
"Williams has an opening. Waiting until No. 71 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft probably left a sour taste in the mouth, especially given that he was projected as a first-round pick before his final college campaign at Clemson. But in Washington, he's landed in the best possible spot to make an immediate difference."
The Washington Commanders plan to demand more production from wide receivers behind Terry McLaurin next season. General manager Adam Peters may add another receiver, but confidence exists that players on the fringes can break out if conditions are favorable. ESPN analyst Mina Kimes believes Antonio Williams could gain the most from quarterback Jayden Daniels’ efficiency. Williams, drafted in the third round, is expected to be impactful immediately, even though that level of output is not typically required from a third-round receiver. Kimes points to Daniels’ ability to release the ball quickly and find open receivers, enabling efficient drives and creating a strong fit for Williams during his rookie transition.
