SAN DIEGO -- The ascension of Tyrell Williams is an example of two things: the hard work put in by the third-year pro out of Western Oregon and the ability of Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers to elevate the performance of players around him.
With Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson lost for the year due to season-ending knee injuries, Williams led the Chargers in 2016 with a career-high 69 receptions for 1,059 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
At 6-foot-4 and 205 pounds, Williams has game-changing speed and the ability to win contested catches.
