Between now and training camp, we will be going through the Jacksonville Jaguars' full 90-man roster, previewing each player.
Up next is wide receiver CJ Williams, who wears No. 18.
Williams was selected by the Jaguars in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.
During his final year in college, Williams transferred to Stanford, where he became an immediate leader on offense. He started 11 of 12 games and was the team's leading receiver, with 59 receptions for 749 yards and six touchdowns.
It's also worth noting that Williams graded out well as a run-blocker by PFF's metrics and was asked to fill that role relatively often.
As a late-round rookie, Williams isn't guaranteed a roster spot, however, he has been a standout performer during OTAs and minicamp.
"The physicality, the attacking, their play style shows up, run game, pass game, screen game, you name it. Individual drill shows up," said OC Grant Udinski about Josh Cameron and CJ Williams. "But both of those guys have been first and foremost great people to have in the locker room, in the classroom, diligent, the way they study, the way they prepare, the way they want to go out there and perform to our standard has been a real treat to be around.
"Now, they also add an element of strength and physicality. Both those guys are bigger receivers that can do things in the run game. And you see the catches that Josh is making downfield using that body, using his physical presence to help himself create separation."
That said, Williams will have to fight to make an impact as a wide receiver in an already crowded unit consisting of three established veterans, along with Travis Hunter. With Hunter expected to focus more on defense than offense, Williams could conceivably earn some snaps, but the bulk of his playing time in Year 1 could come on special teams.
