The Patriots of New England made the greatest financial investment in the history of the franchise in Milton Williams this offseason.
This will bring massive expectations for the out -of -competition defensive tackle, which has signed a $ 104 million pact over four years with the Patriots after winning the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles, to perform at the highest level, even during a packaging exercise during the first week of the team’s offison program.
Williams relayed a story to journalists on Tuesday on how the Patriots’ head coach Mike Trobel has survived not to have a solid finish. The players had to go from the goal line to a certain point on the field and back in a predetermined time defined by Truebel.
Williams had no problem doing in time, but sailing at the end. Truebel has noticed and did not stop calling Williams.
“He let me know, like,” hey, if you are going to be here, you have to establish the standard “,” said Williams to journalists, told journalists, According to Nicole Yang of Boston Globe. “It is like:” Don’t let them catch yourself. ” If you can return it faster, do it. I say to myself “okay”, so each representative since then I try to make sure that I am the first return.

“I feel like it will help me, push myself to get to where I want to be. And the guys running with me, it will push them to run even stronger. ”
Williams did not challenge the challenge by Vrabel in this way, helping more to set the tone for these new patriots.
“It just gives you more energy to do what you have to do and put everything on the line for him,” said Williams. “I don’t think I’m bigger than the next person. I don’t mind calling me. “
Williams started the 17 games for the Eagles a season and was a defensive difference manufacturer despite the fact that 48% of the team’s defensive snapshot in a praised unit. Williams totaled seven plated for the defeat, 10 shots of a quarter and five bags in his fourth season of the NFL.

We expect Williams to play a much more important role in the defense of the patriots this coming season and it is impatient to show that he is someone on which the team can count, whatever the situation.
“You can trust me to do my job, whatever they need to do,” said Williams. “I’m not really a rah-rah guy. Everything they ask us to do, do it. Give an example. I hope the guys see me working and they will want to follow suit. Just try to bring everyone to what we are trying to build here. ”
