The Los Angeles Chargers drafted one of those stories when they chose wide receiver Mike Williams with the No. 7 overall pick.
Williams didn’t have to overcome a debilitating disease or a rough childhood, but he did face a potentially career-ending injury.
It was a day in early September 2015. The highly-ranked Clemson Tigers hosted Wofford, a school they were expected to the thump. They did by a final score of 49-10, but that wasn’t the big story that day.
Williams caught a 4-yard touchdown pass early in the first quarter to put the Tigers up 7-0, but he was shoved in the back after the play.
