Nick Saban offers more praise of Jameson Williams ahead of 2022 NFL Draft
Nick Saban brought former Ohio State WR Jameson Williams to Tuscaloosa for the 2021 season, and that move paid off immediately for Alabama.
Williams became a superstar, showing off his speed while catching 79 passes for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns.
As Williams prepares for Round 1 of the 2022 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Las Vegas, Saban joined “First Take” on ESPN to heap more praise on the Alabama star:
Nick Saban on Jameson Williams: "He's got great speed, and I think he's a guy that can really take the top off. He can do more than that because he's got some catch and run ability. But I really love Jameson. He added so much to our program."

Williams has a chance to be the first receiver off the board on Thursday night, despite the fact that he tore his ACL in the national title game.
Where he ends up remains to be seen, but whoever drafts him will get one of the fastest wide receivers in college football from last season.
