Arizona Cardinals: Third round pick Williams signs

Related Topics: Arizona Cardinals, Chad Williams

When receiver Chad Williams was taken in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft back on April 28th his selection wasn’t one that came with complete ceremony. Some thought the Cardinals overshot the field on this one.

Having seen him play against the Arizona Wildcats last September as a member of the Grambling State Tigers, catching 13 passes for 152-yards, it was clear Williams could play against higher competition.

The Cardinals also saw something in him. They passed over a number of receivers most experts had ranked ahead of Williams.

There is no guarantee the Cardinals made the right selection here, however his 90 receptions for 1,337-yards and 11 touchdowns last season should not be ignored.
