Huskies WR Justice Williams Channels NFL Father's Talent

Justice Williams, son of former NFL tight end Roland Williams, is making significant plays for the University of Washington. Recently, the 6-foot-4, 220-pound receiver delivered a critical 18-yard catch on a third-and-12 situation, setting up a touchdown that secured a two-score lead in the victory over Purdue. This big play followed a 22-yard reception in the previous game against Iowa.

While Justice Williams has impressed as a wide receiver, his physical stature has led to discussions about a potential position change. His father, Roland Williams, was a 6-foot-5, 265-pound tight end who played eight seasons in the NFL and won Super Bowl XXXIV with the St. Louis Rams. UW coaches acknowledge Williams's current success at wide receiver but are open to him playing tight end in the future to maximize his professional opportunities.

Coach Jedd Fisch emphasized that playing time and success are earned through hard work, and he expressed pride in Williams's recent contributions and development. Tight-ends coach Jordan Paopao also noted Williams's strong performance at the 'X' receiver position and expressed optimism for his future growth, hinting at the possibility of a future role at tight end.
