Why doesn't anyone talk about Deangelo Williams?

yea i'm from memphis and i totally agree with that question. the only reason ppl dont talk about him is because he played for memphis which is not a powerhhouse football team and also we have a terrible offensive line. for example if Deangelo played for USC which has the best or one of the best offensive lines in the country he would've won the heisman no questions asked. i mean look at most of reggie bush's plays,most of them came from the help of his offensive line creating holes and other things for him, sure he is a great player and probaly better than Deangelo Williams but if he played for Memphis nobody would talk about him.

I havent heard of either one of them because you dont really hear about defense players in college.

Because Dirk Nowitski is becoming an icon. Superstarts are known for their first names, not their last names. If i rolled off Shaq, Lebron,  Scottie, Charles, and Dirk, you would know who I was talking about. But if I said Earl, Darrell, and Tim who would you think of? Earl Cambell or boykins. Darrel Dawkins or Griffith. Legler or Hardaway. They are big time. Dirk is big time.

He might be one of them, but I don't think he's the most over-rated.  That would fall to someone like Daunte Culpepper.\n\nFor more on the Saints and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

nfl.com doesn't show that a person with that name ever making it onto an NFL roster.\n\nIt appears that a person by the name of Glenn Mazula is an owner in the AFL, Albany Firebirds.

Because of two things: \n\n1. He was one-dimensional. Amazing rebounder, but he wasn't the best shooter (to put it nicely). Most of the players on the list were more well-rounded offensively and defensively.\n\n2. His off-court antics probably affected his not making the list.

Not a bad choice.  I think it will either be him or Vernon Davis in San Fran.  Davis his an absolute freak, and chances are he will be Alex Smith's favorite target.  Vernon should be a starter right away so I think his numbers will be pretty attractive.  But if any thing happens to Deshawn Foster, DeAngelo could be the man out in Carolina.  My chose for defensive rookie of the year by the way is Antonio Cromartie.

DeAngelo Williams will rush for more yards. Reggie Bush is a more talented back, but he will be used in receiving plays quite a bit, much like LaDainian Tomlinson. Even though Tomlinson is considered one of the most talented backs in the NFL, he doesn't rush for as many yards as most backs. It all depends on how you fit the offense, and what you specialize in. DeAngelo Williams is a pure runner, and therefore will rack up more rushing yards.

Jimmy Williams with their first pick isn't bad at all.  He and DeAngelo Hall will make a lot of offensive coordinators loose sleep over the next couple of seasons as they continue to get better.  But overall I don't think it was a great draft for them...   Maybe they should have stayed on a defensive train of thought instead of picking up 4 other mediocre offensive players.  They must be looking at making Shockley into a receiver, cause I doubt he will be a QB in the league if he even makes the roster at all.  They already have Matt Schaub and Byran Randle.  But maybe Norwood will work out if he can get consistant touches playing behind Dunn and Duckett.

Williams, who is the 62nd recipient of the Maxwell Award as Collegiate Player of the Year, broke almost every offensive record on the books. He surpassed Tony Dorsett as college football's all-time leading rusher with 6,279 yards. He also set new standards for rushing touchdowns (72), points scored (452), and all-purpose yards (7,206).\n\nSo yes has the Potential

He's certainly one of the most over-looked linebackers in the NFL, because he's a Titan.  I won't say he's the most under-rated, but it's close.\n\nFor more on the Titans and the NFL, check this site out.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

They're nuts!\n\n\nNot only do you pass on Reggie Bush, but more importantly you pass on Vince Young and Leinhart!\n\nI don't care what the reason is! David Carr was not a better player than either of the two QB's in college, and he's been "iffy" as a Pro.\n\nReggie Bush might be the most athletic Running Back to be drafted since...\n\nMario Williams is a great pick for any team, but not with THAT MUCH talent ahead of him!\n\nI don't think teams were smart to let Leinhart fall to 10. I hate USC but that #%@#@ can really deliver the football to his teammates.

i agree....aside from giving up randy foye for telfair(a major mistake in my mind), i've always wondered why rondo would rate higher than williams...i have yet to see a successful point guard who is a poor shooter and rondo just doesnt make sense when marcus was there for the taking...i have this stinking feeling that ainge is either a saboteur or really has no business running the celtics given his less than exemplary performance in terms of personnel decisions

Great pick he's fast, instinctive, and productive. He was the focus of every offense that played against OSU last year and was still very productive. He's a game changing linebacker like a Derrick Brooks or Urlacher with just a little less speed. At his pro-day he ran a 4.38 40 yard dash and he did 24 reps at 225 lbs. which are incredible numbers for a Linebacker.

Check out his college newspaper if not in the sports section; check alumni newsletters. I found nothing through searches. He dropped out of the spotlight after the hand injury.

I would have taken young too, from what I remember that's one of the reasons he was so excited to go into the draft in the first place was to be picked by the Texans.  don't get me wrong, Williams could be a good player, but I don't think the right fit for the team.  I just hope for the sake of the fans that your coaching staff knows something ever one else doesn't or has some kind of a plan.\n\nalso with picking young that would be a boost for the fan base, hell it would make me excited to see a home town boy make the team as a #1 pick!\n\noh and join the packers fans! we have a blast win, or loose!  were else would you see sold out every game for even a crummy season and life long waiting lists for season tickets! lol I am on it but I will probably have to put my spot in my will to any kids or grand kids I may have lol/
