My Take
Mike Williams's rise from tiny Vance, South Carolina, to the seventh overall pick of the 2017 NFL draft is the kind of small-town-to-bright-lights arc I never tire of. A 193cm wide receiver out of Clemson, he made his living on the gritty stuff: contested catches, jump balls, winning the rough battles at the boundary rather than padding stats in space. Across eight seasons, mostly with the Chargers plus stints at the Jets and Steelers, he was a receiver you trusted in the moments that mattered. I value that dependability in the clutch far more than highlight-reel flash, and Williams had it.
