A former Clemson star wide receiver has reportedly landed a huge contract extension with his NFL team.
The Los Angeles Chargers and Mike Williams have agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract extension, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport also noted that there is $40 million fully guaranteed at signing.
Williams, who has spent all of his NFL career (2017-21) with the Chargers after being selected by the franchise with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, recorded career highs with 76 receptions and 1,146 receiving yards in 16 games last season, to go with nine touchdowns (one shy of his career high of 10 in 2018).
A native of Vance, S.C., Williams compiled 177 receptions for 2,727 yards and 21 touchdowns over 42 games (30 starts) in his career at Clemson from 2013-16. He bounced back from a season-ending injury in the 2015 opener to lead the Tigers in receptions (98), receiving yards (1,361) and receiving touchdowns (11) in 2016.
Sources: The #Chargers and star WR Mike Williams are closing in on a huge new contract extension to beat the franchise tag deadline and keep him in LA for years to come.
