” I have been very lucky. I’ve coached a ton of great receivers,” Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien told Sporting News. “And Jameson, relative to where he is in his career, being a college football player and probably having the chance to play professional football… Great speed, great road runner, very competitive guy. He is a very instinctive player. He’s a very smart player. And I can’t say enough about its competitiveness. He is a player who goes out and trains every day as if it were a match.
“And so I think that’s something the greats have – those traits. Everyone’s a little bit different. Everyone’s built differently. Everyone’s got different skills, different speed, things like that But the best ones I’ve been around, and Jameson is in that category, they all have that competitive spirit that’s really hard to find sometimes.
Williams said NFL Media’s James Palmer that he is ahead of his recovery. He also “gets a lot of movement” as he works out in the pool and does a bit of jogging. All of this progress gives Williams hope that he’ll be ready to take the field to start training camp.
“That’s what I’m aiming for,” Williams said of maybe being ready for training camp. “What wins is just making sure I’m 100 per cent before I do anything. That would be my schedule, but I’m just going to make sure everything is 100 per cent before I come back. just to be right.”
