Clemson's Mike Williams, Artavis Scott declare for 2017 NFL Draft

Clemson's offense is going to look very different next season.

Tigers receivers Mike Williams and Artavis Scott are declaring for the 2017 NFL Draft, they each announced Wednesday on Twitter. Williams is the more notable player and is considered the best at his position heading into the draft. He could very well hear his name called in the top 10.

The junior had an incredible 2016 season in helping the Tigers to a national title, making 98 grabs for 1,361 yards and 11 touchdowns. Williams put a stamp on his college career with eight catches and a touchdown against Alabama in the title game.

It was a comeback year for the wide receiver, as he missed almost all of 2015 with a serious neck injury.

Scott isn't as flashy as Williams but he's been a consistent target for the Tigers. The junior posted at least 75 catches and five touchdowns in each of the past three campaigns.

Williams and Scott join running back Wayne Gallman and quarterback Deshaun Watson as players from the Clemson offense to declare for the draft.
