It was clearly tough to see a player like Lawrence Timmons leave the organization. No one might have been more upset about it than Vince Williams, the man who is replacing him.
Speaking with reporters after practice via Steelers.com, Williams praised Timmons for all he did for the franchise.
“Because of Timmons’ quiet demeanor, I don’t think he gets enough credit for being the leader he actually was. Just a guy who is the definition of consistency, that’s really what he is.”
He also praised Timmons for his reliability, noting he never missed a practice and rarely a game.
