The Trainwreck That Is Willie Williams

[Da Schwab]

It was devastating to me to hear that Willie Williams was dismissed from Louisville yesterday, after yet another run-in with the law.

Williams looked to be a stud at the LB position when he comitted to Miami in '04, but his extremely troubled past and continuously bad behavior at UM, made him leave.

He then enrolled at West LA Junior College, then left to play there (after 4 games) for Louisville earlier this year.

He seems to be a wasted talent, who, coming out of high school was looking to be the next big LB in football, being compared to Ray Lewis and Julius Peppers.

Still, I have one question for guys like Icness or J.Kim:

Does this guy have a chance to get drafted by someone next April (or maybe the supplemental draft)?

He's only 22 years old, but he's been arrested 12 times.

Any NFL team who gives him a shot is insane. His rap sheet dwarfs that of Lawrence Phillips. From what I've seen on the field he wasn't as good as hyped either--more of an athlete than a football player.

Really sad story though. I hate seeing young guys waste their life potential by making dumba$$ decisions over and over again.

Co-sign . I hate it worse when the GM's & owners keep giving these ups millions of 2nd chances. But sometimes TALENT TALKS, MORALS WALK
