Chad Williams will open 2017 season as Cardinals' fifth receiver

Arizona Cardinals third-round rookie wide receiver Chad Williams will open the year as the fifth wideout, 98.7 Arizona's Mike Jurecki expects.

What It Means:

That's behind Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, J.J. Nelson, and Jaron Brown. Williams is an intriguing prospect at 6'1", 207 pounds with 4.43 speed. Fitzgerald talked Williams up at OTAs, but Williams is going to find it tough to make a 2017 impact if everyone is healthy.

Our models project Nelson for 352 receiving yards and 3.04 touchdowns on 21 catches this year as Arizona's third receiver.
