WR analyst says Commanders' Antonio Williams can do everything
Matt Harmon says Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams may be exactly what the doctor ordered.
Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters should be patting himself on the back after what appears to be a successful free agency period and a successful 2026 NFL Draft. Peters had just six picks to work with in this year's draft, and he, along with Dan Quinn and their entire team, really put in the work during this draft season. They evaluated, assessed, hosted players for visits, attended Pro Days and the NFL Combine, and they ultimately had a fantastic plan entering Day 1.
On Day 2, Peters surprised many by drafting Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams. It is thought that if Carnell Tate had been available at No. 7, he would have been the pick for the Commanders .
But Tate was swooped up by the Tennessee Titans at No. 4, and the Commanders were not upset to land Tate's teammate, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles. Still, they needed a wide receiver, which is how they landed on Williams in the third round.
Despite being a third-round pick, Williams is already slated to line up across from Terry McLaurin, and it's possible he proves to be the exact piece the Commanders were looking for. Matt Harmon, creator of Reception Perception (wide receiver analysis), spoke with 106. 7 The Fan in Washington, D.
