CLEMSON – Clemson wide receivers Antonio Williams and Tyler Brown have spent the last three years playing a kind of football tag — trading time battling injuries and shining for the Tigers’ offense.
Williams, a senior from Irmo, S.C., was the Tigers’ top target last season, hauling in 95 receptions for 904 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns en route to Clemson’s ACC Championship win and an appearance in the College Football Playoff.
But in this year’s season opener against LSU, Williams abruptly left the first quarter with a hamstring injury, leaving the Tigers without one of their most reliable playmakers.
