By Ryan Summers
Oct 4, 2014; Auburn, AL, USA; Auburn Tigers receiver Sammie Coates (18) runs behind the block of D
D’haquille (Duke) Williams, SR, WR, Auburn
In ten games last season for the Tigers, Williams led the team in receptions (45), receiving touchdowns (5) and was second on the team in receiving yards (730) behind Sammie Coates (741). Most people weren’t focused on Duke Williams in 2014 because of the return of offensive threats Nick Marshall and Cameron Artis-Payne along with Coates, but 2015 is Williams’ time to step up and make him the guy everyone is talking about in Auburn.
In the last ten years, three SEC players have taken home the Maxwell Award (2013 – AJ McCarron, Alabama. 2010 – Cam Newton, Auburn. 2007/2008 – Tim Tebow, Florida) let’s see if any of these athletes can join the elite group in 2015.
