Derek Wolfe and Sylvester Williams: Similar expectations, different motivations

These guys like to let their play speak for itself.

It’s a prospect that has both haunted and recently propelled them to success in the NFL. As they entered the league as high draft picks in 2012 and 2013, both Sylvester Williams and Derek Wolfe carried the high expectations and have now displayed they were worth it.

But both are not similarly compensated just yet.

Wolfe signed a new contract during the team’s Super Bowl 50 run in 2015 but Williams is now in limbo due to the Broncos decision to decline the fifth-year option on his contract.
