A few years ago, the Ohio State football team had one of the best wide receiver rooms in the history of college football. During their playoff run to the National Championship Game in 2020, they had four future first-round picks just at the wide receiver position.
Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba were all on the roster. All of them played their entire collegiate careers with the Buckeyes. They all were first-round picks. The fourth receiver with that group who was a first-round pick was Jameson Williams.
Williams would transfer from Ohio State following that 2020 season. He ended up at Alabama, where he would play for a national title yet again. When he left, he had some odd things to say about Ohio State. It seems like he still has no love lost for the Ohio State Buckeyes despite being in the NFL.

While talking on Amon-Ra St. Brown's podcast, Williams was asked what he thought about Ohio State. His response says it all. Take a look at the clip below, although it is slightly NSFW because of some language.

It's clear that he has no love for his former university. Perhaps he's bitter that he couldn't get on the field ahead of Olave and Wilson, which was clearly the correct choice. Both of those players were better college players and have proven to be better players in the NFL as well.
Williams just had the best game of his NFL career last weekend against the Bears, catching seven passes for 143 yards and a touchdown. His career in the league has been marred by two suspensions and poor play early on. Perhaps that immaturity is what led him to be further town the depth chart at Ohio State than he thought he should be.
Williams' hate for Ohio State is odd. The fans certainly never hated him like that.
