He is living all of our dreams....amazing.

Thank you for posting. Glad to hear he loves being here.

Hoping he can turn his career around here.

Becoming a big fan of his

He's physically the most talented RB we have. According to reports he's been the most impressive RB in early camp. All he needs is a healthy season to prove it. He's tremendously explosive with instant acceleration. He just plays bigger than his body. He plays with the physical mindset of Murray, but doesn't have the body to take that type of pounding. If we can limit his snaps, I think this will work. Good luck kid, I hope his loyalty to the team, and his focusing on the "Big Picture," pays off for him.

And now I'm falling in love with Ryan Williams ...

Williams' story is inspirational. I feel good about him being a running back on this team. The more I read about him, the less worried I feel like this thread will eventually turn into

​

Dang it to heck!

rooting for this kid too.

the key might be whether or not he improves his pass blocking. if he does, they might be able to forgive him for his lack of contribution on special teams.

 

[Donny Phoenix]

Just became a fan of this young man. I'm "watching you work". Best of luck to you!

I keep thinking he's the reason the team didn't panic about drafting a RB or overpaying Murray.

We'll see.

On how many teams tried to get him on their active roster last season:

Williams: “I can’t remember exactly, but I know it was between five and 10.”

On why he didn’t leave; it would have been a lot more money:

Williams: “Money is not an issue for me. I feel like when you chase money, you’re chasing the wrong thing. I’m chasing happiness. The Cowboys have always been my favorite team since I can remember. The Cowboys made me fall in love with football. I’m thinking about the bigger picture, and that’s Ryan Williams being happy. Set aside from everything else, the money is always going to be there. I grew up — my mother never made money like this, and she raised three grown boys by herself. So if I can grow up in that household with the money that she made I can live life easily with the money that I’m making now. So money isn’t a big thing. It’s the dream. It’s almost surreal because ea lot of these players grew up with a favorite team and probably went through the draft thong that they would be drafted by their favorite team. I ended up not doing that, but luckily I ended up being with my favorite team so everything happens for a reason, and I really feel like God has been on my side.”

On what team looked like it might not have been a bad situation for him:

Williams: “You know what, any time my agent called me, I said ‘no.’ I told him to decline every team, regardless of what was going on. I didn’t care who called, where they’re from, what they was offering; I wanted to be right here. Because you know what, it’s bigger than that. Not many times you can go into an organization and you can fall in love with the coaches, you can fall in love with the system, you can fall in love with the trainers. Everything about this organization made me want to be here. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I’m not happy. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I don’t like the coach. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I feel like something is being said about me which shouldn’t be said about me, because it’s not right. I want to be right here.”

On not being a part of the team last year on Sundays:

Williams: “I wouldn’t’ say it was that difficult, but

Good lord, how can you not want this guy to succeed after this?? His loyalty to the Cowboys is arguably irrational, given the situation. But that makes its all the more profound. This guy is putting it all on the line, risking so much, to make it with the Cowboys this year.

If his body can play at 80% of his mind, then I think our running backs will be Randle as starter and Williams as our 3rd down back.

The article was terrific. A lot of emotion from Williams.

 

[CyberB0b]

If this is all true, which I doubt, he gambled pretty big. I hope it pays off for him.

He seems like he has taken a full assessment of his conditioning, employment, and future outlook. His loyalty sounds pretty rational in my opinion.

How refreshing.

What exactly does this mean? smh

 

[5Stars]

I'm worried about how he thinks about money. I mean, DeMarrco could not feed his family on 5-6 million a year so he bailed for the 8.2 mil, so how can Williams feed his family on what he makes.

You are like the resident curmudgeon. Right? I know there is at least 1 on every forum. And I am assuming that it is you based on you 100% ratio of negative posts.
