In a recent press conference, Jets head coach Robert Saleh made a bold statement regarding wide receiver Mike Williams, confirming that Williams will indeed be in the lineup for the season opener against the 49ers. This news marks a triumphant return for Williams, who suffered a torn ACL that prematurely ended his 2023 season.
Saleh did provide a word of caution, mentioning that Williams may not be operating at full capacity right from the start. However, Williams himself seemed unfazed by this assessment when he addressed the media later that day.
“I’m ready for whatever,” Williams declared confidently. “Whenever my number is called, I’ll be ready. I’m preparing to play the whole game or whatever they need from me. I wouldn’t go out there if I weren’t able to be myself. I’m confident in going out there and doing what I do.”
The wide receiver also expressed optimism about the Jets’ offense, calling it “crazy” when fully deployed. This positivity stands in stark contrast to the atmosphere surrounding the team during the previous season.
It seems that Williams is determined to make a strong comeback and contribute significantly to his new team’s success on the football field. With his unwavering confidence and eagerness to perform, fans can expect some thrilling moments from the dynamic wide receiver in the upcoming season.
