Clemson considers its program to be the home of “wide receiver U” because of its ability to attract top talent and produce NFL wide receivers.
The latest first-round pick the Tigers have produced is Mike Williams, who was drafted No. 7 overall in the 2017 NFL draft by the Chargers. Williams was hampered by injuries during his rookie season and did not have the year he envisioned, but he is considered one of the best receivers in Clemson history.
Clemson signed a pair of receivers for the class of 2018 in Derion Kendrick of Rock Hill and Justyn Ross of Phenix City, Ala.
