Garrett Williams is perfectly content with his role.
And why not? Three months ago, he didn’t really expect to have one this season.
The presence of Stanton Seckinger, Jordan Leggett, Jay Jay McCullough, Milan Richard, Cannon Smith and D.J. Greenlee left Williams thinking that he was headed for a redshirt in 2015. That’s a big reason why Williams nixed his plans to start his Clemson career in January.
Now, instead of playing tight end for the scout team, he’s serving mostly as a lead blocker in the run game and chipping in as a protector for Deshaun Watson on passing plays.
