Look how he molded Moss into the machine he is now. I think the way Williams has been working hard is impressive and may be a character guy.

For those of you that don't know, I hate USC, and I was totally against Williams up until maybe four months ago when the reality of our receiving corps started to come into focus. I always heard the knock on this guy was work ethic, but it looks like he's changed. He's been working hard and he wants to be the best. I'd be willing to move up a few spots in the draft to get him. Maybe Tampa, maybe MN. I think it's worth it. Anyone else have any comments?

<enter twilight zone theme music here> *blink*blink*... daseal, i can't believe you said this... seriously someone must have hijacked the computer with your username... hehehe, j/k man.

in all honesty, i'm not sure where the knock on his work ethic came from- the man's always worked hard at SC... even during last season when he couldn't play, he was still at Howard Jones with the team during practice.

i know we need a corner now that smoot's gone, but williams is the type of player you grab if he falls to you regardless of need- and it's not like wr is the one position of strength on the team right now. throw the keyshawn comparisons out the door right now- he's on another level. but we're not going to see him at 9... only way to get him is to trade up and it looks like we're not going to do that. if we make the investment to trade up though, we've locked up our no. 1 for the future.
