I haven’t payed much attention since 1986

 

sometimes I’m held hostage to an unasked for conversation or a game is on in the same room

Vancouver is a lot warmer than Buffalo.

Edmonton, where he played, isn’t.

 

The climates are quite similar actually. Except Edmonton doesn’t get the lake effect.

Honestly, I could see the Bills making him more of a pass catching TE than a WR. Plus, based on the video that's been shared so many times, he likes to put people in the ground. So, that's good for blocking.....I'd say? 

 

Truthfully, I don't know that he has the speed to play WR for the Bills based on the types of WRs they seem to favor thus far, but TE is not a huge leap for this young man and if he's committed, I think it adds a variable to the Offense.

Awesome article about this kid if anyone is interested in learning more. Talks a lot about his "character problems" and history in general. Fascinating stuff. Will be rooting hard for him once camp rolls around!

Thanks.  That article is great.  

 

This guy sounds like he's ready for McDermott's leadership.  

 

I'm interested in the notion that he may be a tight end.   He's a pretty good sized guy, he's tough and he seems to have good hands.   Clay is too much the old style TE, and Croom simply may not have the size and aggressiveness to some of the TE dirty work.  Williams could be a Kelce, Ebron type guy.  He may not have the size he needs, but maybe it works.  

 

Certainly will be rooting for him.

Hopefully he isn’t just another D’Rick. Coming off of a great CFL season.

 

I put him somewhere between Da’Rick and Martin Nance.

Croom is at least 2 inches taller and 20-25lbs heavier. Yes he has to improve his blocking. I think they are probably looking at Williams as a big bodied wide catch radius possession/red zone receiver. I think he just might be a bit more than that - seems to have some YAC in him. Looks to be a physical, aggressive player with good hands, and the ability to track and high point the ball. Looks to me like he's got a chance. The Bills seem to think so anyway. Hope for all concerned that it works out.

I don't want anything to do with this guy after Mia Khalifa put him on blast.  That weak dick game stuff might fly in Canada.  The NFL is an A1 league. 

 

Wrong Duke, but that is for sure an immediate dis-qualifier.
