The other offensive linemen gave Williams grief for missing the first day of camp and forcing them to take more repetitions. He understood hazing was coming, and said he will "carry the pads all day long." And with his signing bonus, Williams joked he needs to talk to his financial advisers about finding the money to pay for teammates' meals throughout the season. All he said he needs is a house and a car to drive to work. He was informed that fellow lineman and Oklahoma product Jamaal Brown wants a car from Williams.
Responded Williams: "He can keep wishing on that one."

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this mentality. Let's hope that he really has a good head on his shoulders, stays humble and hungry, and becomes the perennial all-pro we are all hoping it is. God knows, Washington is due its blind-side wall.
