Former Ball State receiver Jordan Williams led all receivers in receiving yards during the NFL Players Association Bowl game in Carson, Calif., on Jan. 23.
He was joined with 110 other top NFL prospects from across the nation during the game. Williams outperformed all other skill position players in the game with 54 yards on his five receptions. He was tied with 54 total yards from National Team running back Travis Calton Greene.
Here is a highlight video showcasing Williams' performance:
While Williams didn't get a touchdown reception in the game, his teammate, Jaydon Mickens from Washington University, did. After the second-quarter reception, he was met first by Williams as the two celebrated the 17-6 lead the American Team held.
Williams represented Ball State by wearing the Cardinals' helmet throughout the game, but wore the number 88 instead of his Cardinal number 8.
The American Team was on pace to win its first ever NFLPA Bowl Game, but gave up the 17-6 second-quarter lead. The National Team was able to pull away with a win by kicking only field goals during the team’s 18-17 victory. In the five seasons the bowl has been in existence, the American Team has yet to win.
Williams finished his collegiate career at Ball State with 200 receptions for 2,723 yards and 24 touchdown grabs.
