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. http://www.fannation.com/truth_and_rumors/nfl?page=2 Glad to see he's finally getting it.
I duno how anyone releases a 1st round WR after only 2 seasons. I guess thats why their the Lions. Makes me feel a lil better Hagan is still here too lol
In the Lions' defense, Williams was a slob there. He was overweight, slept through meetings, missed meetings/practices... everything, the guy had no desire to play football. Could if have been their coaching? Maybe... but he was pretty darn useless in his 2 years there. Williams has a long ways to go before he can prove anything... hopefully it works for him though... dont hold your breath though.
