Mike Williams, WR (4th round), Buccaneers

It's never a good thing when apologists say a player is "misunderstood."

That's the company line on the super-talented Williams, who dropped to the fourth round after plenty of academic and behavior issues at Syracuse. Clearly, Williams could be the steal of the entire NFL draft. His talent is ridiculous. His hands and play-making ability are unquestioned. He's been the story of Bucs camp, making play after play.

But the questions will hound him until he proves otherwise. He got caught cheating on a test at Syracuse. He was suspended from the team after being involved in a car accident after curfew, returning from a trip to a casino. He quit the team. It's up to him to mature and become a professional.

Jordan Shipley, Greg Hardy, more potential NFL hidden rookie gems - John P. Lopez - SI.com At least the author wasn't a Mike Williams apologist. I wish Mike the best, but he didn't get booted from the university and then ultimately quit for nothing. That said, it's obvious that the dude is very talented. He is the cover shot for this article on the front page of SI.com.
