Antonio Williams

No. 14 · Rookie

ESPN put a rookie's name in the conversation before he's played a snap

Predictions like this don't come with guarantees. They come with pressure.

Antonio Williams is a rookie wide receiver for the Washington Commanders — a middle-round pick still figuring out his footing at the professional level. He has not played a regular-season game yet. That part matters.

ESPN analyst Ben Solak looked at what Williams brings and made a bold call anyway: Offensive Rookie of the Year. The award that, in any given season, goes to the one first-year player who makes the whole league take notice.

For a middle-round pick, that kind of national attention is rare before week one. It raises the ceiling — and raises what people will expect when the games actually start.

Now Williams has to go out and play like someone who earned that sentence.
