I was listening to Matt Millen disuss the Lions draft. Towards the end Millen was asked "What happened with Mike Williams?"
MM said "I really do not know, I wish I did. For some reason Mike would not get into game shape, Mike would not work hard at practice, Mike would not do the extra things needed to succeed in this league" Mike would not work hard for a players coach in Mooch, or for a tough coach in Rod Marinelli.
Millen went on to say how much he liked Mike Williams as a person..saying he is a great kid.
Millen said he talked to him a number of times and everytime Mike would say 'I know I have to work harder, I know I have to get in better shape, I know I need to learn the plays, I know I have to be on time.
But Millen said nothing ever changed " A total enigma" stated Millen
Millen went on to say that Mike has great skills, and he has seen flashes of them in practice, but until he puts forth the effort needed to play in the NFL it will be hard for him.
So maybe a change was needed..as a kick in th ### type of thing.
My feeling is that BMW was lazy at UCS but got away with it, was lazy with the Lions..will the Raiders be able to change his work habits? Only time will tell.
