Leaner Williams turning heads
Mike Williams lost the weight and regained his swagger in the process. He's faster, happier and once again optimistic about a career that went nowhere in his first three NFL seasons. But for his sake, to keep him motivated, the Titans receiver is going to pretend he's stuck in a rut. In 2005, Williams was a first-round draft pick by the Lions, but he was released after two seasons. The Raiders gave him another shot, but he lasted just six games in Oakland. That's when the Titans jumped on board, signing him at the end of last season, hoping for bigger things in the future. Today, the 6-foot-5 Williams is down nearly 30 pounds to 242 from his weight in January. He opened eyes in practices open to media in May and June, which got the attention of his teammates. But when someone paid him a compliment on the last day of organized workouts, he had a matter-of-fact reply. Williams, more than anyone, knows he's done nothing yet.

If he can do it, good for him... But why he couldn't do it before really makes me wonder if he freaking cares about the sport at all.

Do it in the games, then I will be impressed. If he is catching important passes in week 8 then I will start paying attention. Until then, keep your mouth shut, keep a low profile and put in mad work.

Nothing faster than a 270 pound reciever. He's just like everyother reciever that came from his college...lazy and just happy to get a huge payday. The only thing that is motivating him right now is that next contract, and then six months later he'll be cut again.

It's real damn easy to not give a crap anymore after you get paid big rookie "GUARANTEED MONEY" Someday the owners will actually realize this too.

This may actually work for the Titans. A lot of athletes need to be humbled like this.

Remember the amazing one-handed catch he made at USC? Seems like a hundred years ago doesn't it? Here's hoping Williams gets it going again.

If he can turn it around more power to him, VY does need a big target to throw to and apparently Roy WAS a big target. Good luck to him.

He has been humbled...that's what happens when you are great in college against boys (see reggie bush) and then you play with men in the NFL
