He had 66 receptions for 1,296 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior, and he had 60 receptions for 1,395 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. Williams was rated by Rivals.com as a four-star recruit. He committed to Clemson University to play college football.
College career
Williams played in all 13 games as a true freshman in 2013, making three starts. He finished with 20 receptions for 316 yards and three touchdowns. Williams returned as a starter his sophomore year in 2014. He finished the year with 57 receptions for 1,030 yards and six touchdowns.
In 2015, in the first game of the season against the Wofford Terriers, Williams fractured a bone in his neck after colliding with the goal post just as he was catching a touchdown pass from QB Deshaun Watson on his team's first offensive series of the game. He sat out the rest of the season and received redshirt status.
In 2016 as a redshirt junior, Williams returned to his starting role and started all 15 games for Clemson, recording team highs in receptions (98), yards (1361), and touchdowns (11). He caught touchdown passes in 9 games (including 3 against rival South Carolina) and had over 100 yards receiving in 5 games.

On January 10, 2017, hours after Clemson defeated Alabama 35-31 for the national championship, Williams announced that he would forgo his senior year and enter the 2017 NFL Draft.
Professional career
Coming out of Clemson, Williams was projected as a first round pick by the majority of draft experts and analysts. He attended the NFL Combine, but only performed the bench, vertical, and broad jump. He performed the 40-yard dash, 20-yard dash, and 10-yard dash at Clemson's Pro Day and also ran positional drills. Williams was ranked the best wide receiver in the draft by ESPN, the second best wide receiver by Pro Football Focus, the third best wide receiver by Sports Illustrated, and NFLDraftScout.com ranked him the third best wide receiver in the draft.
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Williams in the first round with the seventh overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. He was the second wide receiver selected (No. 5 Corey Davis) in the draft. On May 11, the Chargers signed Williams to a four-year, $19.74 million fully guaranteed contract with a signing bonus of $12.50 million.
