ESPN: Troy Williamson...WoW

[Chuck 54]

They're running a special on Troy Williamson, speedy WR drafted #7 by Minnesota out of SC.

Holy Crap...what a childhood he's overcome !!

1. House hold fire which resulted in 3rd degree burns over a large part of his body...talked about his hospitalization and pain...recovery...showed some pretty nasty scars that he still carries on his chest, arms, and legs.

2. His brother Roy was killed.

Interesting...only 91 catches in his career at SC because they didn't pass much, but over 1700 yards for over 20 yard average for his career.

This kid has really overcome stuff his entire life...can't help but hope he's successful, especially in MInny replacing Moss as the speed guy.

I was at the Jets preseason game against the Vikes and Williamson looked good.
