With the 203rd overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Stanford wide receiver CJ Williams. Here’s a comprehensive look at what he brings to the team.
**Profile**
• Height: 6-7
• Weight: 203 pounds
• Age: 22
**College Career**
Williams began his collegiate career at USC before spending two seasons at Wisconsin. During his time with the Badgers, he saw 63 targets, catching 49% of those passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns. This past season at Stanford, his role expanded significantly. He hauled in 59 of 92 targets, with his completion rate jumping to 64%, totaling 749 yards and six touchdowns. Notably, Williams also graded well as a run-blocker according to PFF metrics and was frequently asked to fill that role.
**Scouting Report**
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com offered this assessment: “After a quiet first three seasons (2022 at USC, 2023–2024 at Wisconsin), Williams broke out at Stanford in 2025. He has good size and above-average play strength. He lacks burst to bypass press and separate at break points but benefits from excellent focus and catch strength when contested. Williams runs routes with consistent play speed but will need to improve his separation tactics to make it in the league.”
**Fit with the Jaguars**
Williams embodies the traits the Jaguars prioritize at wide receiver—a big-bodied pass-catcher who embraces blocking. He will compete for a spot on the back end of the depth chart, with most of his early snaps expected to come on special teams.
**What the General Manager Said**
GM James Gladstone praised Williams: “He (Williams) fits the bill for a lot of the things that I’ve long appreciated in wide receiver play, with both the guys that we drafted at the position. They are extremely tough, extremely good blockers. They are extremely good at attacking the football. So really excited about both him and Josh (Cameron) entering the fray. He is an impressive human being.”
