Wide Receiver. Clemson. Mike Williams. 16. player. 26.

The Baltimore Ravens need to replace wide receiver Steve Smith, who called it a career after last season.

Quarterback Joe Flacco’s big arm doesn’t do much good if he doesn’t have receivers capable of separation. But that’s what Clemson wideout Mike Williams has to offer.

At 6-foot-4 and running a 4.54 40 time at his pro day, Williams’ speed isn’t particularly eye-popping. But his sheer size and route-running abilities should have general manager Ozzie Newsome more than just intrigued.

Williams could step in right away and emerge as a No. 1 target and red-zone threat to reinvigorate Baltimore’s offense in 2017.
