The Clemson Tigers have a number of playmakers on their offense, but wide receiver Mike Williams might just be their best NFL prospect. That’s crazy to say considering Williams received season-ending neck surgery a year ago.

However, Williams has returned to the field and has continued to play at a high level. Despite the devastating loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday, Williams was still able to put up 202 yards and a touchdown on 15 receptions.

Williams has a unique blend of size and speed that a lot of scouts will be drawn to. At 6’3” and 225 pounds, Williams is athletic enough to win almost any 50-50 ball thrown his way, and his soft hands mean that he’ll rarely drop passes.

Guys like Ross are trying to narrow the gap, but Williams is currently still the clear No. 1 receiver in this class.
