It might be more than just a sophomore slump for the Tide wide receiver, and a change of scenery could be what he needs this offseason.
As a 17-year-old freshman, Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams looked like the sport’s next superstar. The only true challenger to Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith as the eventual best player in the country.
Then came a sophomore slump. Williams regressed from 48 catches for 865 yards and eight touchdowns to 43 grabs, 636 yards and four scores, with 10 drops, the third most of any receiver in the country this year.
