The Pitt Panthers star is following the same path his family did years ago.
PITTSBURGH -- Arriving for rookie minicamp with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Marquis Williams hadn't yet signed his first NFL contract and he was still fighting for even a chance to prove himself in traning camp later this summer. But that didn't stop him from feeling right at home at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
“I always knew Coach Mike T since my uncle had been playing here," Williams said. "I’ve been around always with Mike T. It’s been a great friendship. I call him uncle. So it’s definitely great that he knows me, a lot of the staff know me as well. They all got experiences of coaching with Mike T and it’s all family oriented so I definitely adapted very quickly.”
Like his nephew, Carter was undersized at just 5'8 and 190 pounds. Williams begins his NFL career with a similar fram and he'll try to follow a similar path as his uncle, going from overlooked rookie to a full-time starter on a winning team.
