247 Sportswriter says we have 2 of top 5 WR in ACC

Artavius Scott #3 and Mike Williams #2.
3. Artavis Scott, So., Clemson
Speaking of 1,000 yards, if Artavis Scott doesn’t get there this year, it probably won’t have anything to do with his ability level … it will have more to do with the Tigers’ receiving talent competing for catches and yards. In fact, Scott isn’t even the top Clemson receiver on this list despite a great 2014 that saw him haul in 76 catches for 965 yards and eight touchdowns. The first-team Freshman All-American last year was the No. 68 overall player and the No. 8 wide receiver in the 2014 247Sports Composite, but wound up out-producing most of the players ranked ahead of him last year.
2. Mike Williams, Jr., Clemson
The No. 1 factor that kept Scott from a 1,000-yard freshman season, Williams topped the 1,000-yard mark himself by just 30 yards. At 6-4 210, Williams is taller than Scott and he’s arguably more explosive, averaging 17.5 yards per catch over his two-year Clemson career, including 18.1 yards per catch a year ago. The scary part is that Williams still has a little bit of polish to add to his game, but he’s always going to be a terror down the field. Williams was the No. 32 wide receiver in the 2013 Composite, though he was the No. 4 overall ranked player in South Carolina.
