As noted in the tweet above, Williams is projected to be one of the top wide receiver prospects to be selected in the upcoming NFL Draft. It remains to be seen if his draft stock will take a hit now that he is set to undergo surgery.

Williams is now the second Alabama wide receiver to suffer knee injury. John Metchie III tore his ACL during the team’s SEC Championship Game against the Georgia Bulldogs.

After transferring from Ohio State to Alabama, Williams had a huge junior year. In 15 games, he recorded 79 receptions for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns.

Even though he suffered a serious knee injury, the expectation is that Williams will fully recover after surgery.
