3. Contested catch winner
Those who watched Williams' first seven years of his career know that sometimes good coverage is not enough.
The receiver has built the reputation as one of the best contested catch players in the league, grabbing double-digit contested catches in five of his seven seasons in the powder blue according to Pro Football Focus. That includes 2021, where his 21 contested catches were the second-most among all wide receivers in the NFL.
And it's not like he hasn't been effective in those scenarios with a contested catch percentage of 50 percent or better in six out of his seven seasons with the Bolts.
He's effective at getting down the field and winning, as from 2018 to 2022, Williams gained 421 receiving yards over expected on vertical routes, the third-most in the NFL in that timespan, according to Next Gen Stats.
Not to mention, the receiver has also provided Chargers fans with some memorable moments in the clutch.
Williams caught seven go-ahead touchdowns with the Chargers from 2017 to 2023, which tied for second-most in the NFL during that timespan.
4. Back after a year away
Williams returns to the Bolts after a 2024 season with multiple teams.
The 30-year-old receiver spent time in both New York and Pittsburgh, becoming one of the few players in the modern era to play 18 regular season games after being traded midseason.
He finished the 2024 season with 21 catches for 298 yards and a touchdown, which was a go-ahead score he caught in his first game with the Steelers.
5. CFP National Champion
Of course, who could forget how Williams became one of the top picks of his class.
The Clemson product was a star for the Tigers from 2013 to 2016, earning All-ACC honors twice and finishing his collegiate career with 177 receptions for 2,727 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Those totals were good for third in receiving touchdowns, fourth in receiving yards and fifth in receptions in program history.
He closed out his college career on a high note with 98 receptions (second-most in a season in school history) and 1,361 receiving yards (third-most in school history) while on his way to a National Championship win.
