Featured Atlanta Falcon Friday: Where Did Nick Williams Come From? (Uconn of course)
" But little did we expect, the team’s leader in receptions last Sunday was practice squad call-up Nick Williams...... He went undrafted in 2013 out of Connecticut, but still managed to earn a roster spot on the Redskins...... He would finish the 2015 season with 17 receptions for 159 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games of action..... Much like his stay in Washington, though, Nick Williams found himself a victim of the numbers game in year two with Atlanta. But just like a good reliever in baseball, the third year vet stayed ready for his next opportunity.... The shifty receiver laid Rams’ defenders to waste on multiple occasions in his season debut. "
