Clemson WR legend Mike Williams announces NFL retirement

One former Clemson wideout decided to return to the NFL this season, while another has decided to walk away from the game. Hunter Renfrow announced his NFL return earlier this offseason, and he signed a deal with the Carolina Panthers, but legendary wideout Mike Williams is walking away.

On Wednesday night, the Chargers' wide receiver and Clemson legend informed his team that he would be retiring after eight seasons in the league.

This would have been his second stint with the Chargers after spending the 2024 season with the Jets and Steelers. He returned to the Chargers this offseason and was getting set to join Jim Harbaugh's squad, but he decided to call it a career.
