This is the first I've read of this... it was in Charles Robinson's power rankings on Yahoo. One of the most hyped WR's out there... I'm sure Millen's happy he took him over Derrick Johnson now.

31. Detroit Lions (2-8) – In one of the most unbelievable realities this season, quarterback Josh McCown's spot work with the wideouts in practice technically places him one spot ahead of 2005 first-round pick Mike Williams on the depth chart. Don't be shocked if Williams packs it in this offseason and calls it a career after only two years.

Mel Kiper sure was pimping Mike Williams. Didn't he claim he was the best player in the entire draft?

I believe so, yes. Mel Kiper also said Hali was a reach, so he's full of BS to begin with.

Matt Millen is committing fanocide in Detroit.

And can a player retire when he never played?

Mike Williams can't even get on the field there, but their backup QB can play WR?

Me, too. When he was in college, I remember posting how I would love to have him in a Chiefs uni. Thankfully, that post wasn't findable through the search feature, so I can deny it now. Damn, just outted myself.

I think if Mike Williams woulda went anywhere but the Lions, he would have been at least somewhat decent.

I love the Lions, but Millen has to go NOW, he has totally destroyed that team.
