Great story about Tight End Brandon Williams

"He says a part of him was ripped out that day in Eugene when Chip Kelly and a line of faceless doctors sat behind a table and ambushed him with the news.

He had a spinal condition, they told Williams, and his football career at the University of Oregon was over.

"Cried like a baby, right there in front of them. And cried for a while,'' Williams says of that June day in 2011. "Then went home and cried some more.''"

More stuff on Brandon Williams who may shock a lot of people:

Brock Huard had some good things to say about Brandon in Blue 42

Why don't the Seahawks value fullback anymore?

Why don't the Seahawks value the FB position anymore? What was the takeaway from UW coach Chris Petersen's interview with John Clayton? Can TE Brandon Williams make the Seahawks?

"Seahawks Tight End Brandon Williams “Grateful To Be Out Here Every Day”

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has singled Williams out unprompted.

“You haven’t asked much about Brandon Williams yet, but Brandon Williams is a really special pick up for us,” Carroll said last week when addressing the tight end position. “I don’t know that you guys appreciate that he was a core special teams guys for the Panthers for a number of years and he played in a lot of games at tight end.

He has done a lot of football in the league that we really respect and he has come out here and really looked good as a blocker. He’s fast and tough and all that stuff, but he looks like he’s got a little more strength and power than guys we have had in a while. He made a good impression, we see him fitting in too.”

The thing I like about this signing is even if Graham doesn't pan out after he returns from his injury we are still set at TE.

Thanks for the link. Great story. Kid had two playin years with the Panthers and I am sure lost money with the Dolphins. If he makes a starting roster it will be life altering.
