Many remember Tyrell Williams’ days as a Wolves star. Now, in the NFL, a breakout season has lead to his nomination for the VIZIO Value Performer trophy.
The trophy represents which player was the biggest bang for the buck in the regular season. Fans vote for one of the five players to decide the trophy winner.
Williams posted 1,059 yards and caught seven touchdowns throughout the San Diego Chargers’ 2016 campaign.
According to overthecap.com, Williams’ salary for this year is $525,000. In a business filled with high profile contracts, Williams’ position as an undrafted free agent who fought his way onto a team is reflected in his salary.
But Williams’ stats this year put him above world class names like Larry Fitzgerald, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Michael Crabtree. He ultimately finished the 17th ranked receiver in the country.
Voting is already open at VIZIO.com/TVP, and fans can vote as often as they want. Polls close on Jan. 16.
