Ryan Williams and Isaiah Horton trained with Eagles WR DeVonta Smith

Alabama’s offense was strong last season, finishing among the top teams in the country in scoring and total yards. A big part of that success came from freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams. As he prepares for his second season, Williams continues to work hard.

On Wednesday, he and Isaiah Horton trained with Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

Smith is a former Alabama athlete who had an incredible college career from 2017 to 2020, winning the Heisman Trophy in his final year. He helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl in February and is known for his strong work ethic and focus. And that mindset is rubbing off on Williams, as he continues to work hard.

Williams led the team with 865 receiving yards, 48 catches and four touchdown catches last season. He also added two rushing touchdowns. Williams and Alabama will face the Florida State Seminoles on the road on Aug. 31.
