Thrust into a prominent role after season-ending injuries to Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson, Williams leads the team in catches (53), receiving yards (837) and touchdowns (six) with four games remaining. He's averaging 15.8 yards per catch, has five receptions of at least 40 yards and has scored a touchdown in four straight games.

So just how good has his season been in perspective to the Chargers greats?

A closer look shows he is putting up numbers at a rate rarely seen even with the team's strong history at the position.

Williams is the first wideout since Vincent Jackson in 2009 to catch a touchdown in four consecutive games. Should he grab another at Carolina on Sunday, he'd be the first Bolt since John Jefferson in 1980 to make it five in a row.
