If you were not familiar with Trey Williams before yesterday’s game, you are not to blame. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year running back had hardly even gotten work in team drills during training camp, and did not play in their team’s first preseason game. Terrell Watson got the load, and all the fanfare.
But after last evening’s game, the door suddenly creaks open for the 5’7” running back—the door that leads to a half-million-dollar paycheck. With a 64-yard punt return for a touchdown, the first punt return touchdown in the preseason for the Steelers in eight years, Williams now has everybody’s attention, and attention leads to opportunity.
