Eddie Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and more NFL players react to Jameson Williams injury

Eddie Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and other NFL stars reacted to Jameson Williams getting hurt in the national championship game.

In a game for all the marbles, NFL players like Eddie Jackson and Patrick Mahomes reacted to Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams having to exit the game with a knee injury.

The Ohio State transfer projects as a top-end, first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. On big play downfield, Williams saw his knee buckle on the Lucas Oil Stadium turf. He had to be helped off the field and into the medical tent. Fortunately for him and the Alabama Crimson Tide, he was able to watch to the locker room on his own power. Alabama is already decimated in the receiving corps.

With John Metchie III down for the count with a torn ACL, losing Williams for the game would be disastrous for the Crimson Tide passing game.

NFL players like Jackson, Mahomes and Jeff Okudah were hoping that Williams would be okay after this scary injury. Even football legend Charles Woodson commented on the play that knocked Williams out of the game.

Reggie Bush, Terry McLaurin and Micah Parsons all expressed sympathy for the future NFL star in his big game. Williams is poised to make a lot of money depending on where he ends up being picked this spring.

For Bryce Young and the rest of the Alabama offense, they have to step up in Williams’ absence.
