In a surprising move today, the Los Angeles Chargers officially announced the release of wide receiver, Mike Williams. Williams, who was selected by the Bolts as the seventh overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has been a key player for the team's offense since his arrival.

Throughout his career, Williams has showcased his skills as one of the NFL's most notable deep threats. He has amassed an impressive record of 309 catches for 4,806 yards, with an average reception of 15.6 yards and a total of 31 touchdowns.

The wide receiver's breakthrough came in 2018 when he made headlines for his outstanding performance, scoring a remarkable 11 touchdowns, consisting of 10 receiving and one rushing. This accomplishment earned him AFC Offensive Player of the Week honors and played a pivotal role in leading the Chargers to a victory in a memorable Thursday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Continuing his excellence on the field, Williams enjoyed a record-breaking season in 2019, achieving his first 1,000-yard milestone and leading the entire NFL with an astonishing average of 20.4 yards per reception. This marked the highest average by any player in a single season in the last five years, provided they had a minimum of 40 receptions.

Williams' impact extended further with his knack for scoring crucial go-ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter or overtime. Since his entry into the NFL, he has registered an impressive seven go-ahead touchdowns, including an incredible five in the 2021 season alone, setting a new single-season record.

The decision to release Williams comes as a surprise to many considering his notable achievements and contributions to the Chargers' offense. However, it is important to note that contract details and internal team considerations likely played a significant role in this decision.

With Williams now looking for a new team, there is no doubt that his proven deep threat abilities and scoring prowess will make him an attractive prospect for many franchises as they set their sights on the upcoming NFL season.
