Personal favorite player. Would catch a lot of passes.

May he find peace in death, and his family not suffer.

That is so tragic. Over the last weekend I decided to watch some Mike Williams highlights out of the blue and was surprised by how athletic and amazing he was. To go from that to finding out he is no more is extremely sad.

At the time, I equated Freeman to Williams as our version of Culpepper to Moss.

I said, at the time.

You’re not alone. I absolutely loved Mike’s game and same with Blount. When it was clicking with Freeman, I thought we had our triplets.

Damn shame how that played out on and off the field, but this is just tragic.

Edit: RIP Good luck, Mike!

Yup, IIRC, we drafted Benn in the 2nd and Mike in the 3rd or 4th, and from day 1, Mike looked like the steal of those two picks.

Ugh. I too was drinking all the Freeman/Williams Kool Aid I could handle. Sad times man. I hope his family can find peace in the mess.

Great news! This is like the third, “I’m not really dead” follow up after reports of a death.

Lil Dicky started the trend.

When he played for us Mike was a really good player and when will we hold the media accountable.
I hope he fully recovers.

I hate to say it, but he may prefer death over a paralysis.

Also of note in the tweet shared by Bootz...

🚨IMPORTANT🚨Hadley also tells me the GoFundMe page set up by his “mother” is NOT Mike’s mother.

So, if you're thinking of donating to a GoFundMe for Mike, just be aware of fakes.

The family has requested that GoFundMe take the page down. It's disgusting that people would try to capitalize over such a tragedy.

I third that motion. How about, "His condition has improved enough for him to be taken off life support"
