Best of luck to him but I don't think he'll go as early as he's hoping.

Agreed. He needed another season.

He must really not want to play with AB for another game.

Not nearly ready for the NFL, but best of luck to him.

Geez we have a lot of bitter fans in this board!

I don’t blame him, best of luck to him, he has a ton of potential. I could see why he wants to leave, a lot of unknowns for next year. New QB, new coaching staff, new offense with an OC who apparently is a power run first type play caller, that’s a lot for his Sr season. Hopefully he impresses at the combine and has a solid career!

Bummer. Could have used another year in a real offense.

100% agreed. He played well enough to get himself a chance in the league and he's taking it. Totally understandable. Pretty shitty to insult him for that.

He probably saw that AB is starting in the bowl game and just noped out.

I had called this one before the season, Williams didn’t like to play school and he’s really talented. On pure size/talent he’s as good of a WR for the draft as we’ve had. When he got to play enough he managed to put up really great numbers despite AB, and he bailed out AB on some awful throws. He also bailed out Shough on big plays last year against UCLA and Oregon State.

If he played in an offense that had a better QB and got the reps he deserves he’d be a surefire draft pick. Not sure if he gets drafted, but with his tools maybe. When he tried to transfer to Oregon they were out of scholarships so he committed to Oregon State. Then he decided to go to Oregon (kind of like signing day for the 2018 class, last minute switcheroo) and would up joining the team as a walk on and paying his way until they could get him on scholarship. So let’s not slander him, he’d rather pay out of state tuition to be a Duck than be a scholarship Beaver.

He could us another year to prove himself and become a high draft pick. However, with a new Coach, OC, and QB, that would be very difficult here. I'd love to see him another year at Oregon but he should have really transferred to a school with a proven QB, such as Ohio State with many of their WRs declaring for the draft.

And its unlikely that he really paid his own out of state tuition. Hahaha

Doesn’t make sense, but I do like that he’s not playing in the bowl game if he’s leaving for NFL, gives our young guys more reps.

Best of luck, Devon! D-Will was my favorite player this season and one of our best WRs we've had in a long time.

He's got NFL size and his hands are fantastic. I hope he gets a chance to shine on Sunday's!
