Wait—Mike Williams, former first-round pick known best for temporarily eating himself out of the league, is a head coach at any level?! Yes, the receiver whose late-career resurgence with the Seahawks could only partially salvage his reputation has become an interesting example of just how far a football life can come, 10 years after his fate was sealed as a high-profile draft bust.
Once he retired, Williams was able to pursue the career he always envisioned he’d end up having.
"I always wanted to be a coach,” he says. “I was going to be a high-school teacher and a football coach. USC and the NFL just kinda happened—that all became extra. There's a million kids who want to be NFL players. That dream is not as realistic as you want to dream. So, my goal was always something more attainable, and I'm living the dream now."
