21KillzCowboys Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I got this from a Cowboys board - posted by a 'reliable' Cowboys fan. Very funny and revealing if true. VT sure puts out the character guys. "I have a friend that works for the Redskins. He is not very high up in the organization, but he recounted a story that was circulating through Redskin Park about Jimmy Williams. The Redskins brought Jimmy in for a pre-draft interview. Apparently, those interviews last a few hours and they look at a little film with the player, allow him to speak with coaches, and tour the facility. Anyway, about 10 minutes into his interview with Gibbs and Greg Williams, Jimmy's cell phone rings. Instead of turing it off, Jimmy takes the call from a friend, gets up from the table and proceeds to talk loudly to his friend for a few minutes. After he hung up the phone, he began to text message someone. At that point, Greg Williams stood up and said that he would never allow Williams to play for him and Gibbs had Jimmy escorted out of the building. This story certianly rings true because he was a top 15 pick at the end of the season and fell to the 37th pick in the draft because of his attitude during interviews. I think its funny because anyone who had seen him play at VT knew he was a jerk." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDETHEWALRUS Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If that is true than I am glad we didn't get him. Rocky seems like a smart guy who will show the coaches the utmost respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyal2Washington Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If that's true then Atl. is in for soem trouble. If you can sit there and disrespect two of the most highly touted coaches in the NFL how is he going to act with Jim Mora Jr., whose father wasn't half the coach of Gibbs. What a total fool. :dallasuck :gaintsuck :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 If true, it really makes all those whining posts about how "dumb" Gibbs and Cerrato were for passing him up in the 2nd round sound even more idiotic...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 No surprise there, lots of rumors about him 2 years ago, and Beamer did not let him speak to the media in 2004 The kid is a passionate player and hard worker and has some serious skills, but there have always been people talking about his attitude and focus for years Unfourtantley he and Marcus seemed to be the VT story of the draft, rather then the quality guys we had coming out with great character like Darryl Tapp, Jim Anderson, Jonathon Lewis, Jeff King, Justin Hamilton, Cedric Humes, Will Montgomery and Jason Murphy. A record 9 Hokies get drafted but the focus is on the 2 idiots in JW and MV2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 It sounds like an exaggerated dramatization to me, but at the same time, would not surprise me in the least. I couldn't stand Jimmy Williams. He might've been the most overrated underachieving jerk in VT history. He was too busy flappin' his mouth and arms to get the crowd "riled" (even at the Thursday night massacre AT Maryland this year). His schtick got old real quick in Blacksburg.

Oldskool Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I wish that more teams would do this. Character should be weighed as much as athletic ability and potential. If you dont have all 3 in the right balance, youre going to be a bust, found dead in the offseason, selling cars in Cowlick, Texas a few years after being drafted or all of the above.

Higgs44 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Wasnt ESPN running a story about a "Player" who didnt turn off his cell phone during his interview, and it went off, and the player took the call. This must be the guy who went nameless... if I can find the story I will post it Edit* NOTE TO INCOMING PLAYERS: TURN OFF THE CELL PHONES As more and more Americans migrate through life with a rectangular solid pressed against one of their ears, it's more important than ever for us all to realize when to turn off the cell phones -- or, at a minimum, to set them to "silent." One of the most important times to remember this is during a job interview. We mention the topic because we've heard that a first-round draft prospect who was recently visiting with a NFL team had his cell phone ring not once but twice while meeting with the head coach. The incident, along with other things that occurred during the session, prompted one source with the team to tell us that the player was "the biggest assh*le we've ever brought in." We've opted not to name the kid for now because, based on information we've obtained from other sources, it appears that he simply was having a bad day. Good day or bad day, though, it's critical to turn off the damn phone. Especially after the thing goes off for the first time at a bad time.

SkinsHokieFan Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 We don't even know if that is true you guys. "rumor" Definitley do not. But those of us who follwed his college career, this is not a shocking revelation Super talented and a terrific athlete, but lord there is something missing in his head Of course I loved the original poster's cheap shot at VT while he had the chance to make one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
