MSU's Williams wants to use his adversity to motivate teammates, youth

East Lansing — Each year throughout preseason camp, Michigan State’s seniors get a chance to address the entire team.

Every one of them, at some point, will give their “senior speech.”

Some are funny, some are serious. All are a chance for the player to talk about what their experience has meant to them as they attempt to impart some wisdom on their younger teammates and help them, as a group, appreciate what they’re all going through.

In the early days of this season’s camp, it was wide receiver Felton Davis’ turn. The 6-foot-4 budding star is entering his final year with high hopes of improving on last season’s breakout performance when he caught nine touchdown passes and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors.
