Twitter: It’s De “no longer Sam” Williams

[KJJ]

Hopefully he’s not hanging out with any gangsta rappers.

 

[RoboQB]

Let's go with Billy Dee Williams.
Or, Colt 45. That's even better.

 

[ThatJerryKid]

I want y'all to call me CoCo.

I have to admit, De sounds more like a HotBoyz, whadyathink? De HotBoyz

You got it CoCo.

 

[AsthmaField]

Did any of y’all watch the clip?

Some really crude jokes goin on when the dude just wants to go by the name his family and friends call him. People acting like it’s a made up nickname he just now wants to go by. It’s literally derived from his middle name lol.

Nobody makes fun of Cowboys players like Cowboys “fans” do. I swear if they read what their fans say about them online… it’s a miracle they ever sign any autographs at all.

 

[Techsass]

I've known scads of folks that go by their middle name. Usually named after their dad, but not always.

 

[Risen Star]

Most unlikable 2nd round pick since Jaylon Smith.

And there are a couple of cornerbacks in there.

It's Sam Williams, he's gotta earn De

^^^This. These youngsters need to calm down.

 

[Captain-Crash]

i hope he makes the hotzz boyzz club.

 

[Bullflop]

Dee, lmao isn't that Roger's little sister on What's happening?

On BTB, they asked him to spell it. He didn't say "Dee," he spelled it out as and I quote, "De." It's original -- I'll say that much!

 

[Runwildboys]

Ole' Sammy can change his name to whatever he wants, once he starts racking up the sacks! I'd hate to think that the Boys drafted someone who more concerned with a new name, the his NFL GAME!

If people weren't calling you by your preferred name in your first interview since the draft, wouldn't you tell them?

 

[RS12]

How bout going out and making a couple plays first.

Dee,De, I guess sue was taken.

It's been his nickname since he was a kid (more of a kid than he is now) and it's what he likes to be called. It's not like he's telling people to call him Dr. Doom or something.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

He's a country boy from the deep south. I bet he and Nate Newton have a lot in common.

The American South offers much. Mosquitoes, gnats, water-borne infections and Charlie Daniels and Ferlin Husky music and pickled okra.
Texas is more civilized if you ignore the horrific music blasting out of pickups and rimmed-out cars.

Because it's short for Degarrick. Understandable that he wouldn't want an extra e.

 

[Bullflop]

Dee,De, I guess sue was taken.

If he wanted to be called "Twinkletoes," I believe I'd grant his wish.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Dee,De, I guess sue was taken.

De's much I know: He has the PR gals in a lather over his name in promotional material and all the Sam I Am jerseys waiting to be unpacked.
De, have you no shame?!

 

[JoeyBoy718]

He’s already talking too much. He better be good or it’ll be annoying.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

He just texted me. De say you can.
De Twinkletoes it will be.

He's no Reggie Swinton!
