Detroit Lions fans will be thrilled to know that Mike Williams, the team’s 2005 first-round pick who ballooned up to 270 pounds and never contributed anything to the offense, is suddenly taking his job seriously.
Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean reports that Williams, now with the Titans, is so devoted to his job that he’s down to 242 pounds and deflecting praise by saying he’s just doing what was expected of him coming out of USC. When someone told Williams he was looking good, he replied:
“I was the No. 10 pick (in the draft),” he said. “I’m supposed to look like that. It just so happens that I am finally doing what other teams picked me to do.”
Isn’t that great, Lions fans? How come high-priced rookies so rarely look how they’re supposed to look when they play in Detroit?
