The Bucs spent a lot, and we mean a lot, of time with this guy before they chose him in the 4th round of the 2010 NFL Draft. They came away with the impression that he can contribute to the organization right away, or else they wouldn’t have drafted him after already drafting a receiver (Arrelious Benn) in the 2nd round. They will most likely start him alongside Benn, using him as a guy who can stretch the field. However, he can only do as much as his quarterback allows him to do, and last year, Freeman was one of the most inaccurate downfield passers in the league. When all’s said and done, Williams probably will be a mediocre WR3 guy this year unless Freeman really matures.
When Williams has actually played (for information on why that hasn’t usually been the case see below), he is a big threat. The 6’2”, 204-pound receiver scored a touchdown in 10 of 12 games he played in during the 2007 season despite the fact that his team only won two of those games. In the seven games which he has played in 2009, he registered an 11-catch 209-yard performance and 13-catch 186-yard game and in both games he scored two touchdowns. He has big play written all over him and he succeeds in almost every facet of the game…if only that were the case off the field.
The sad part about Mike Williams is that he is known for his headline making off the field than on it, and unlike in Tim Tebow’s case, that’s not a good thing. Williams spent four years at Syracuse University- whose football team has been in irrelevance since the Donovan McNabb era- yet only played one full season, in 2007. He was suspended for the entire 2008 season for cheating on a test and that’s not even the most interesting tidbit of his stint as an Orange. The next season, he was off to a great start, but then one night was involved in an auto accident (alcohol wasn’t involved) after coming home from a casino past curfew with a few teammates.
Now, Williams had already violated one team rule earlier in the season, to go along with his cheating scandal the year before. Coach Doug Marrone tried to call Williams the next day, but his cell phone was lost in the accident and he wasn’t staying in his room because his roommate had the swine flu. So when Marrone couldn’t get a hold of Williams, he assumed he quit and told the whole world that fact the next day (this after holding a vote with the entire team asking them if they wanted him to stay- the majority said yes). Williams in fact had no quit and quickly met with the AD and Marrone, but Marrone continued in his stubborn ways and wouldn’t let Williams back on the team.
In a nutshell, that is probably why you have heard very little about Williams on the field, because there hasn’t been much to report on.

Williams does not have a Twitter account. The official Team Twitter account comes through here: Bucs Player Tweets
