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?

Even if Tennessee had a Quarterback smart enough to get the ball to him, he would still drop it.

You're right he would drop it.. like the time Kitna bounced it of his chest vs, the Bears at Ford Field. Dropped the game winning touchdown. Besides, makes no diff, he is still too heavy, he was 242 here. I believe Martz wanted him down to 215.

Maybe the reason Mike Williams got fat in Detroit was that he had a fat paycheck and didn't take his job seriously while he was in Detroit.
