Duke’s Williams Drafted, But Roster Role Unclear | Jacksonville Jaguars News

Duke’s Wesley Williams, the highest-drafted Duke player in this year’s NFL draft, went 119th overall to the Jacksonville Jaguars — but don’t expect him to be a game-day starter. With a loaded defense already featuring Josh Allen and Travon Walker, Williams’ path to significant playing time is narrow. He’s likely to begin the season on the bench, even though he made the 53-man roster. A solid college performer with 130 tackles and 11.5 sacks (including a breakout 8-sack season in 2024), Williams may struggle to even be active on gamedays. Still, making the roster is a major achievement — and his rookie year could be about learning, with potential for more playing time later in the season.
