Clemson’s Mike Williams drafted by LA Chargers

Clemson receiver Mike Williams has his home in the NFL.

Williams was drafted No. 7 overall in the first round Thursday by the Los Angeles Chargers.

The 6-foot-4, 218-pound Williams caught 98 passes for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns last year as the Tigers won the national championship.

“When it’s up in the air, he’s getting it,” ESPN analyst and former Oakland and Tampa Bay head coach Jon Gruden . “He has great hang time, an incredible vertical leap, just a real good playing strength.”
