Modesty, Thy Name Ain't Jason Williams

Western Illinois linebacker Jason Williams, taken with the 69th overall pick by the Cowboys last week, has never seen a player quite like...himself.

"I've been underrated for so long, I have a chip on my shoulder," Williams said in the San Antonio Express-News. Nobody realizes what a great player I am. Now that I'm on a national scale, playing with the best players, everyone is going to see what a great player I am."

Yeah, the world is watching.

Western Illinois has had more than a few players drafted including Bryan Cox and Rodney Harrison, a pair of players who played with a whole bag of chips on their shoulders. And confidence, especially for a player from a smaller school, is important.

But Williams words go zooming past the exit marked "Confident" and are headed straight for "Insufferable Blowhard." He'll need to work on that a little.
