Former Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams was selected by the L.A. Chargers as the No. 7 overall pick in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft on Thursday at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Philadelphia, Pa.
Williams is the third former Clemson receiver in the last five years to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. Deandre Hopkins was taken at No. 27 overall by the Houston Texans in the 2013 draft, while Sammy Watkins was the fourth player selected in 2014.
Williams is coming off of one of the best seasons a Clemson wide receiver has ever had.
