13. Tennessee Titans

WR. Clemson. Mike Williams . 13. player. 35. Marcus Mariota is fast developing into one of the hottest young quarterbacks in the NFL. Much of that success is brought about by having a dominant running game and offensive line. His cast of receivers has done fairly well thus far but it’s not a group that has much star power. They’re more just solid targets. If Mariota is going to start beating great teams though he’s going to need somebody he can rely on in the big moments. <p>Mike Williams has shown he’s all about that at Clemson. He’s been living that life for months at Clemson. Every week it seems like the Tigers are playing a tight game they need to win and every week he’s making 2-3 big catches to put them in position. His size-speed-hands combination make him an attractive target regardless of situation or who’s covering him. Just put the ball in a remote vicinity and he’s going to go get it.</p>
