"Washington isn't blessed with productive wideouts aside from Terry McLaurin. There remains speculation around Brandon Aiyuk or perhaps even Stefon Diggs coming into the fold, but the Commanders are gambling on young stars breaking out. That's not always a recipe for success, so there is an opening for Williams if he can maintain or enhance this positive momentum."
Antonio Williams fell to No. 71 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft and the Washington Commanders view the selection as an opportunity not to waste. Williams brings polished route running and smooth hands, and he was previously viewed as a potential first-round talent before his final 2025 season. At rookie minicamp, he did not drop a pass in individual or team drills. He showed sharp cuts and quick body turns to get upfield after securing receptions. While rookie minicamp is only an early step, the encouraging start suggests he could earn substantial playing time. Washington needs more production at wide receiver beyond Terry McLaurin, and Williams could fit that role if he sustains the momentum through the summer.
