Mike Williams to the Titans

Aside from below average speed, the big knock on Williams is a poor work ethic - perhaps reuniting with Norm Chow will wake him. That said, he failed in a pretty good situation in Detroit with Roy Williams drawing the toughest defenders.

This is a great pick up for the Titans, he has a real shot at becoming an actual star there due to lack of realistic options. I think we all forget that he had 30 tds in 2 seasons at USC including 176 catches and 2579 rec yards. All that done in only 26 games.

I am a little surprised we picked up Mix instead of the 6'5" Williams. Williams has a history of greatness.

History of greatness? Where? At USC?

Yes, exactly.
Sure he has done nothing in the pros thus far, but neither has Mix and we're already crowning his ass.

I wonder how cheap they got him for. I wouldnt have minded us picking him up to help us around the goal line.

Lane Kiffin was his position coach at USC and recently his coach in Oakland--and he gave up on him. He also implied, I am paraphrasing here, that Williams lost his motivation after getting his fat contract from Detroit. A player without the passion to play is the kiss of death IMO...
