The No. 7 overall pick from the 2017 NFL draft produced just 11 catches in his rookie season. The pressure is now on Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams as he enters his sophomore season with a clean bill of health and expectations for a bigger role. Is he ready?
To understand the breakout potential Williams brings to the table, you have to go back to his sophomore season at Clemson. That year, 2014, saw Williams establish himself as arguably the best receiver in the nation after catching 57 passes for 1,030 yards and six touchdowns as he and first-year starter Deshaun Watson established a connection after Cole Stoudt left the starting lineup.
