[edit] NFL career
Williams was drafted 9th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was the third receiver taken behind Larry Fitzgerald (3rd overall) and Roy Williams (7th overall).
Williams put up disappointing numbers in his rookie season of 2004. He rebounded the first half of 2005, but in the second half, he had a slump brought on by a concussion.
Through the first six weeks of the 2006 NFL season Reggie Williams was among the top receivers in the NFL. An injury to the ankle of Byron Leftwich caused Leftwich to miss the remainder of the season. After David Garrard became starting quarterback, Williams' production slipped. Williams had his best game as a pro against the New Orleans Saints, making 6 catches for 128 yards and 1 touchdown.
Williams had his best professional season to date in 2007, with 38 catches for 629 net yards (an average of 16.6 yards per catch) and 10 touchdowns (more than twice his career total prior to 2007). In a game against the Oakland Raiders in week 16 he broke the Jaguars single season receiving touchdown record. The record was formerly held by Jimmy Smith.
