Usually when a team loses a player who caught 98 passes for 1,361 yards and scored 11 touchdowns, such as Clemson’s Mike Williams, one might think he would be a tough person to replace. However, Clemson is not most teams, especially when it comes to the wide receiver positions.
Despite losing a top 10 draft pick, the reigning national champions are loaded with talent at wide receiver, from national championship hero Hunter Renfrow to Ray Ray McCloud to Cornell Powell to Trevion Thompson and to Diondre Overton, the Tigers are loaded. And, let’s not forget, Deon Cain.
With Williams gone to the NFL, Cain steps to the forefront as the Tigers’ big-play threat for 2017.
