Jaguars Day 3 receivers Cameron, Williams keep making plays in camp

Jacksonville Jaguars rookies Josh Cameron and CJ Williams have carried their strong spring form into the start of training camp. John Shipley of Jaguars on SI wrote that both wide receivers were risers through the first three practices, with Cameron making plays in the downfield passing game and Williams building a reputation for reliability.

The two Day 3 draft picks have already become a frequent topic around the Jaguars’ receiver room, and Sunday’s practice added another chapter. Shipley noted that both players made “impressive grabs,” continuing a pattern that began in offseason workouts.

Rookies carry over spring momentum

Cameron and Williams were not just participating in the early portions of camp; they were making an impact. According to Shipley, Cameron’s ability to win in the downfield passing game stood out, while Williams earned praise from Liam Coen for the trust he has built with the quarterbacks. Coen said the quarterbacks “innately trust” Williams, a meaningful sign for a young receiver trying to carve out a role.

Sunday’s session reinforced the early impressions. Shipley reported that both rookies made highlight-quality catches, keeping them among the most consistent performers in the Jaguars’ receiver group.

Coach explains what stands out

After Sunday’s practice, Grant Udinski pointed to the same traits that first caught the coaching staff’s attention during the evaluation process.

“Really, that they’re very similar to the guys we saw on tape,” Udinski said. “They’re tough, smart, competitive guys that work really hard. They’re in here early, they’re in here late. They’re great to be around.”

Udinski also said the consistency in their practice habits has made their plays less surprising to the coaching staff.

“They play tough. They play hard. All the cliches, I hate to say it, but all the cliches that you want as a coach and a player, they’ve brought that and more every single day,” Udinski added. “So, you love to see that and then you love to see the consistency on top of it. So, when you see them make plays, just like I talk about Parker, it’s not a surprise. I don’t want to take it for granted, but it’s not a surprise because you see the amount of work they put in.”

Receiver room picture

The top of the Jaguars’ wide receiver depth chart is well established, with Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Travis Hunter leading the group. The competition at the back end is becoming just as interesting, though, because of the play from Cameron and Williams.

For Jaguars fans, the development matters because it suggests Day 3 picks can push for meaningful depth roles rather than simply filling roster spots. Coaches value consistent effort during camp, and both rookies are showing the type of daily habits that typically earn extended looks as the roster takes shape.

What to watch in camp

These are still early training camp observations, not final roster decisions. Preseason games will give Cameron and Williams a truer test against live competition and more complex defensive looks. The challenge for both rookies is to keep stacking good days without noticeable dips.

For now, the coaching staff sees two late-round picks doing exactly what they did on tape. That is an encouraging start, but the next step is turning practice production into a clear role when games begin.
