He really should have just stayed in school. In his freshman year they were comparing him to Randy Moss, now he's turning into Gilbert Brown LMAO.

CR, couldn't have said it better. At this point Mike Williams, had better hope the bengals call, because I don't know of another qb/ assistant coach / wr core that could mentor him better on how to make the jump to the NFL as a WR.

but he'd probably end up morphing into chris henry 2.0, so maybe it's best they don't call.

Wasn't there just a story like a month ago talking about him breaking out? I guess those double sessions ended that. What a bust.

This was disappointing. He had tremendous upside and ended up washed-up. Waste of talent.

What with the Lions killing the career of the Wide Reciever? They have had several 1st rounders flop after they got thier hands on them. I still wonder about MegaTron.

kinda' sad ... ever since that one good year at USC ... it's been all downhill

he is the one from USC isn't he?

he is the example of why kids need to stay in school. at least have the education to fall back on. even if they don't graduate only a few classes away from a degree is better than a few years.

i wish him good luck and i think he will find another team. All of this will serve him as an experience for years to come

Tennessee...Williams....get it?

i thought this guy was going to be an all-pro WR. that's why i'm not a NFL personell guy and just write little comments on an anonymous message board.

You make a good point, but when you have the opportunity to be a top 10 pick in teh NFL and make millions, how many people turn that down? He is more of an example that great college player does not equal great pro player. Some of the greatest players in history have come in late rounds not the first round. I dont' fault him for trying the waters . . . .like the saying goes "scared money don't make money" . . .

Clown,
weight and conditioning----two thing he has 100% control over!! He is a professional athlete for god's sake. Get a freakin trainer, cook, something. Half the old crones in my area have "trainers"--you couldn't tell but honestly. How many WRs in college were not picked ahead of him and yet would have killed for this opportunity. I don't wish him well, I feel bad for the folks who invested time and effort in this POS

yeah Hitman, but if he does noy have the sense to make that money grow he will be working in a Burger King in a few years. an education would let him realize that he is probally not qualified to handle that ammount of money.

To be honest Vaughn9, most people aren't qualified to handle that amount of money, that is why you hire a financial planner. He might have continued his college degree while he was playing similar to Vince Carter. We assume he never went back, but we don't actually know if he did not complete his education.

Like i said, you have a point about staying and getting an educaction, but football is a violent sport, there is no guarantee that you will make it to the next play. Do you stay for 4 years and risk injury or a bad season, or do you leave when your stock is the highest?

Once a few WR's get hurt, some team will sign him for the league minimun. Maybe he'll wake up and get with the program, otherwise it's Arena ball.

i thought the same thing and thats also why i am writing comments

I have a feeling he knew he wasn't as good as the numbers he posted his freshman year so he took the money and ran!!

Don't worry Mike - I hear the Giants might be needing a W.R. !!!
