RIP Mike Williams

[syrBossHogg]

He was a bright light during a dark era for SU football. I was so glad Marrone gave him another chance with the Bills. RIP Mike

 

[Louie and Bouie]

One of the most athletic players I've seen play at Syracuse in the 40 years I've been watching. An absolute freak at WR.

Sad stuff.

Horrible news. RIP Mike Williams.

Supremely talented guy, always will wonder what could have been with him.

 

[djorange1989]

The most talented player we have had since Freeney, what a horrible tragedy

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Mike and connected through social media around 2008-09 and had several good conversations. So sad to see. RIP Mike

One of the most athletic players I've seen play at Syracuse in the 40 years I've been watching. An absolute freak at WR.

Sad stuff.

When he would get on the field in his freshmen year, it was so obvious that he was infinitely better than all of the other WRs.

Sad day, mike was an extremely talented player, prayers to his family

Yeah it was never about talent with him, it was always the extracurricular stuff.

What an absolute bummer. That guy had amazing talent and say what you will, he was a three-year starter in the NFL and twice came within a whisker of 1000 yards receiving. He also played for his hometown team (Buffalo), even if briefly. That's a helluva ride. My best to his family.

Unbelievably sad and tragic. RIP Mike. Prayers to his family and loved ones. Life is precious.

[swish7]

Oh man. That is horrible. He was an amazing player.

 

[Wrinkle]

Dominant player. Didn't matter who threw the ball to him he got his yards (and we certainly tested that to the extreme)

 

[HOFCeluck]

RIP

 

[GreekFreak]

RIP Mike. Such a talent. Always enjoyed watching him play.

 

[Millhouse]

He was so talented. It's a shame he didn't have more money saved to avoid dangerous work but I respect that he made an honest living doing something that actually matters. My life hadn't even really started until I was mid thirties

[RF2044]

What a tragedy.

 

[MGDCuse]

What a tragedy. RIP and God's speed Big Mike

 

[EastCoast2]

RIP to the young man. This was one of my favorite videos during his time at SU.

 

[Cusepats]

RIP Big Mike. He was so dominant in that first Marrone season. Paulus just threw it up to him.

I believe he was the last offensive su player to score a TD in the NFL.

I am not sure about if this true offensively, but I know Chandler Jones scored a pretty crushing TD against the Pats last season.

Sad to hear the news about Mike.

I am not sure about if this true offensively, but I know Chandler Jones scored a pretty crushing TD against the Pats last season.

Sad to hear the news about Mike.

Ryan Nassib threw for one in 2015, Mike left the NFL in 2014 so if you count TD passes then Nassib was more recent.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

Such horrible news. Sending up prayers for his family and friends.

 

[NYCCuse826]

They're probably working on it, but Cuse Football should at least throw up a graphic acknowledging him.
