Commanders lauded for 1 draft selection for Jayden Daniels
The Washington Commanders selected Clemson receiver Antonio Williams in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft to bolster their receiving corps for quarterback Jayden Daniels. Analysts, including CBS Sports' Mike Renner, praised the pick, calling Williams the team's best draft selection due to his reliable route-running and NFL readiness. While Williams faces stiff competition for playing time behind Terry McLaurin and others, he is viewed as a potential contributor with versatility beyond his slot role in college. His path to snaps may be challenging, but he has the tools to earn a role in the offense.
