CHARLOTTE — Antonio Williams will be the first to admit his physical presence alone isn’t likely to scare any opposing defensive backs.
Since the day he stepped foot on campus, Williams has played much bigger than his 5-foot-11 frame might suggest he could. During his debut season, Williams earned freshman All-American honors despite playing in an offense that really struggled to push the ball down the field. He still managed to lead the team with 56 catches for 604 yards, while reeling in four touchdown grabs.
The following season, Williams faced more than his fair share of adversity, as a foot injury limited him to just five games.
