Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams worked out for the Chargers on Thursday and the Titans on Saturday, sources tell Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL.com (on Twitter). His workout with the Chargers is particularly noteworthy since they haven’t really connected to him much during the draft process. Earlier this morning, Matt Miller of Bleacher Report also indicated Williams could be a possibility for Los Angeles at No. 7.
It would make some sense for the Bolts to target a wide receiver in the first round, even though that hasn’t been the popular prognostication for them. After Keenan Allen, the Chargers’ top receivers are Tyrell Williams, Travis Benjamin, and Dontrelle Inman. While Williams and Inman were surprising contributors in 2016, Allen hasn’t been able to stay healthy in recent seasons. Of course, Allen’s health issues have generally been on the one-time variety — lacerated kidney, torn ACL — but they’re still concerning.
Williams, at 6’4″, 218 pounds, would give Los Angeles’ offense another boost after the unit ranked 19th in DVOA a year ago. In his junior season at Clemson, Williams put up 98 receptions for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com favorably compares him to former NFLer Plaxico Burress.
Every 5 years there’s a WR named Mike Williams
and every 5 years he’s drafted early in the 1st rd based on size and potential, but ends up being a bust! haha
I really hope they get Christian McCaffrey. RB,Slot WR, punt returner,kick returner. Multi dimensional. All purpose. Injury free, no baggage!
The Chargers are a joke of a franchise and will sink even lower in LA.
Spanos gets what he deserves.
Spanos will screw whatever it is up.
He’s a joke.
Fail in LA.
And the 12 Charger fans left go wild!!! AAAHHHHHHHHHH
I think 12 is a little high.
Lol
Take Hooker or Adams and Godwin in the 2nd don’t over think it
