Question
Clemson receiver Mike Williams likely will be chosen in the first round, becoming the fourth Mike Williams selected in the first round of an NFL draft (Lions 2005, Bills 2002, Chargers 1975). What is the only other name that’s been chosen twice in the first round in this century? (On this one, I’m going not by legal names but by what people went by – that is, David Jones would not match with Dave Jones.)
Answer
Roy Williams (selected by Dallas in 2002 and Detroit in 2004). If you want to expand things into earlier years, I see 11 other pairs, including Mark Ingram, Clay Matthews, Ron Johnson, Kevin Hardy, Derrick Alexander, Mike Taylor, Doug Martin, Gene Washington, Dan Williams, Andre Johnson and Dave Brown (if including supplemental draft).
