Jordan Cox | 10 years ago

In an appearance on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” Thursday morning, NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper praised a number of players across the country whose draft stock is on the rise.

But Kiper took a moment to speak on JUCO transfer and Auburn wideout Duke Williams.

Said Kiper: “With Sammie Coates injured – JUCO dynamo Duke Williams, he has lit it up. Big, athletic, a little raw, but Duke Williams has the talent to be a heck of a player. He’s already shown that ability so far.”

Williams was the nation’s top-rated JUCO prospect this winter coming out of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.

He has 23 catches for 357 yards and three touchdowns so far this season.
