I am not going to lie… When Troy Williamson was drafted seventh overall in 2005 I bought into the excitement. A fast, young receiver who could step into a role of stretching the defense with one little set-back, his hands were questionable.

Questionable?

There is nothing questionable about Williamson’s hands.

He can’t catch.

What good does stretching the defense do if you don’t have to cover the guy?

How do you drop a pass that hits you in the shoulder pads, when the playoffs are on the line and there isn’t a defender within 15 yards?

My follow-up question is how do you come back into the game and drop the next pass that would give the offense a first down and keep the ball moving?

Concentrate Troy.

See the ball into your hands, Troy.

Catch the ball, then run, Troy.

My third question, how did Williamson fool people throughout college into thinking he could catch a ball?

This is going to be painful (not as painful as watching a millionaire drop an easy TD) but here is a list of the guys Williamson was chosen over. This is obviously not a comprehensive list of guys taken after Williamson, for that visit, www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=2005 [1].

Here goes:

DeMarcus Ware, Shawne Merriman, Heath Miller, J.J. Arrington, Frank Gore, Ellis Hobbs, Brandon Jacobs and Brady Poppinga just to name a few.

What changes do you think the Vikings need to make next year?
