Williams calls NU receivers group 'one of the deepest' in Big Ten

They know who will be doing most of the throwing to them, especially following Monday's news that Tristan Gebbia was leaving the Nebraska football program after Adrian Martinez was named the starter.

"We definitely have one of the deepest corps, I’d say, in the conference," junior Mike Williams said Monday. "Because if someone goes down we’ve got another man that’s just as good and can do the same things."

Williams has seen that depth up close and was one of three starters listed at receiver on the NU depth chart released Sunday morning.

How did he find his edge at a position group that goes seven-deep on the official depth chart and a few more than that on the entire roster?
