Maybe, he felt like, he would post a slow time.
40-yard dash coming up next. Remember, this is huge for Mike Williams. He decided to not run at the combine so this is his shot.

Well, any doubt and the suspense was put to rest today.
“How high will he go?”
The 6-foot-4 receiver blazed his way to unofficial times of 4.49 and 4.50 at the Clemson Pro Day earlier today. A player with his height and weight of 218 pounds can impact a game on any level, especially when you add sub 4.6 speed to the mix. Williams was very productive in college and his performance against the Alabama defense is still fresh in the minds of the NFL hierarchy.

He was already projected to be a first round pick and mentioned as the number one receiver in the draft, and now he can start to pick out that tailored suit of choice for draft day. Williams will be invited to Philadelphia for the April 27-29 Draft, now the question is “How high will he go?”
