John DeShazier: P.J. Williams ready for real NFL action

White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. – Hamstrung by a hamstring.

Those were the words on the stamp that was affixed to the rookie season of New Orleans Saints cornerback P.J. Williams, a third-round pick (No. 78 overall) in 2015 who didn’t last through training camp, and never played in a regular-season game, due to a hamstring injury that ultimately led to him being placed on injured reserve.

“It was definitely tough,” Williams said. “It was tough for me. That’s the longest I ever didn’t play since I started playing football, so I had to find something in me to be able to lock in and still be able to focus on some things and just understand it was a good thing for me, and next year I’ve got to come on strong.
