Kyle Williams actually deserves every bit of praise he gets... He earned it on and off the field.
Too bad more posters here don't see it that way.

Has anybody in this thread not praised him?

Look, the point is Kyle Williams is a proven commodity. You know what you're going to get out of him. He is a damn solid NFL D-lineman. Has been for years now. I think any true Tiger fan knows this. And he goes about his business very quietly in relative obscurity in Buffalo. That doesn't mean people don't appreciate him as a great Tiger.

On the flip side, you have an interesting, compelling story with a guy that plays a higher profile position, has gobs of talent and has gone through hell and back just to get to the NFL (yes I understand it was his own doing). That's why there are more threads. He was electrifying.

Kyle has done things the right way and he has reaped the rewards for it. But if you have a DT and a DB with comparable talent, the DB will make more headlines 99/100 times. Nothing "embarrassing" about it.
