Roy Williams Upset in Detroit: Can You Blame Him?

Roy Williams was picked as the seventh overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Lions to be their go-to receiver of the future. Well, now it may be the go-away receiver of the present. Williams has caught less then 60 passes in three of his first five seasons with the lowly Lions. A 6-2 jump out of a building type receiver barely ever sees the ball coming his way. The Lions then selected Calvin Johnson last season in the Draft. A 6-5 jump out of a building type receiver who barely sees the ball coming his way as well. So, let's recap real quickly: the Lions take two, huge, quick receivers and then don't throw to them...OK, got it? Good. During the last game for the Lions against the not-to-good Chicago Bears, Williams began to get frustrated late in the game when he wasn't getting the ball. After a bad pass to him, he would try to kick at the ball; he started yelling at his teammates and headed off the field only to throw his helmet on the bench. No, I can't blame him for doing it ...
