Alabama WR Jameson Williams declares for NFL draft despite knee injury

Jameson Williams is moving on to the NFL.

The Alabama receiver announced on Thursday that he intends to declare for the NFL draft. The news comes on the heels of Williams suffering a serious knee injury in Alabama’s loss to Georgia in the College Football Playoff title game on Monday. According to multiple reports, Williams suffered a torn ACL.

Williams started his career at Ohio State and totaled 16 catches for 266 yards and three touchdowns in two seasons for the Buckeyes. After the 2020 season, Williams transferred to Alabama and made the most of his opportunity.
