Isaiah Williams talks about how he handles struggles in his career, past and present.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned for Williams. Instead, he was signed as a free agent by the Detroit Lions in April."So just my faith and life," Williams told Illinois Fighting Illini On SI. "Life is the greatest teacher."
Williams was a playmaker at Illinois. It could have been easy for him to just give up after going undrafted despite being a first-team All-Big Ten selection last year as a junior.He claims life is his greatest teacher because it is always challenging him. "And then, secondly it's just, you know when you go through things in your life," Williams said. "After a while challenges get easier. You know what I'm saying?""Once you beat one challenge it's like 'Okay I got this.'" Williams continued. "Then another challenge comes and it's like 'Okay, I've been here before.' Head up, chest out, let's attack it.
Williams is playing well enough to earn a roster spot. In the preseason, he has 10 catches for 106 yards. He was signaled out by Lions coach Dan Campbell after the first game. Some are already calling him one of the best steals of the offseason. Ella Walker is a contributor to Illinois Fighting Illini On SI. She can be reached at [email protected].
