CLEMSON, S.C. --  Representatives from most of the NFL teams were on hand to see former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson, who played at Gainesville High, go through a scripted workout on Thursday at the school's indoor facility.

Former Clemson wide receiver Mike Williams also took part in the drills. Williams is considered one of the top wide receivers in the upcoming NFL draft, which is set for April 27-29 in Philadelphia.

Tennessee head coach Mike Mularkey, Detroit head coach Jim Caldwell, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin and Chicago head coach John Fox were in the group of about 100 coaches and NFL scouts.

Here are some of the tweets from the workout:
