Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams will face huge expectations in ‘09 based on the draft picks the Cowboys gave up to acquire him last season. But according to everyone at Valley Ranch, Williams has been one of the team’s most committed players this offseason. During the recent rookie minicamp, receivers coach Ray Sherman couldn’t stop bragging on how Williams is becoming more of a complete player.
Williams doesn’t understand where all the criticism keeps coming from. To him, the constant questions about whether he can be a No. 1 receiver are unnecessary, since he’s been a No. 1 receiver his entire career. Whether he’s caught up in a backlash about the release of Terrell Owens, or the trade that brought him to Dallas in exchange for prize draft picks or a poor output last season, Williams says he’s getting a raw deal. “Why am I a target? I’m just a guy,” Williams said Wednesday. “I’m a coachable wide receiver who does what he’s coached to do. I’m getting grief from everybody. I don’t know why, I’ve just got to go out there and prove to people that I can play this game….Every time I say something about what I do positively it gets turned around negative. I’m just going to continue to do what I’ve been doing and everybody can see what we can do in September.”
