"Antonio is a day one performer when he walks in their building. If he was 6-2, he'd be a first-round pick. He's different, but he is in the same class and category of all the greats that we've had come through here at that position."
"He's precise in what he does. He's tough, he's physical, and just a very, very smart football player. He's a high-value pick here. And I think he's a guy that right out of the gate makes a difference with his work ethic, with his toughness and with his ability to get open and finish on the ball."
Antonio Williams was selected by the Washington Commanders in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Analysts had projected him as a first-round pick, but injuries and team struggles caused his stock to drop. Williams is seen as a slot specialist with excellent route running and elusiveness. Clemson's head coach Dabo Swinney believes Williams will thrive immediately, citing his determination, toughness, and intelligence. Experts view this selection as a steal, enhancing the offensive options for quarterback Jayden Daniels.
