FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- It started with a question.
"Steve, how old are you?" Quinnen Williams asked that day in the spring.
This was in a meeting room at the New York Jets' facility. The precocious rookie sat alongside fellow defensive lineman Steve McLendon, the resident Yoda. Williams received a smile and an answer -- "33" -- that prompted some quick math. When the meeting was over, he shared his findings.
"You got to the NFL when I was in the sixth grade," Williams told his new teammate.
McLendon busted out laughing.
