Paul Williams, a former Fresno State receiver who was a third-round draft pick of the Tennessee Titans, spent last weekend in Los Angeles to do photo shoots and attend promotional parties with more than 30 other NFLrookies, it was hard to imagine any of them having a better understanding of the risks and rewards that pro football offers.
Football has handed him his greatest loss, that of his closest sibling, a big brother in every sense. But it has also provided opportunities for Williams and some of his four other brothers. One of them, J.D. Williams, started three Super Bowls at cornerback for the Buffalo Bills, is now an assistant coach at the University of Washington and is someone who Paul calls his guiding light.
Football is a dangerous game.
