FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- Jamal Agnew didn’t remember it at first. It happened so long ago and didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, so the memory faded. He was at the University of San Diego then, trying to make the NFL. The date has long been forgotten, but Agnew was asked to host a visitor on a recruiting trip.
Like Agnew, Avery Williams was an underrated prospect in California. He was small but shifty with high-level return skills but overlooked by bigger programs on the west coast. San Diego was interested.
