inian Williams Soaring in the Sun With Seahawks By Don Costello Managing Editor CHENEY, Wash.— Set against the backdrop of the rolling grain fields of Washington stands Eastern Washington University. It is a place where one would be least likely run into a familiar face much less an ex-Catamount. This small town, no bigger than Cullowhee, has something Cullowhee doesn't—an NFL team. Cheney is the home of the Seattle Seahawks training camp. Along with the publicized stars of the Seahawks such as Warren Moon, Rickey Watters, and Cortez Kennedy is Willie Williams. Williams, who played football at Western Carolina University from 1990-92, is novv a starting cornerback for one of the most improved teams in the AFC West and an established star at that position. Williams hits the practice field with the rest of the team at 8:45 anr. on Tuesday morning. He doesn't like training camp but he •wks like he's having fun. Three days prior Williams took the field against the Indianapolis Colts and had a front row seat for Peyton Manning's debut. Williams left the game early with an ankle injury but coaches commented to reporters that his ankle ls fine. He had fun in that game. Willie Williams - Photo Courtesy of WCU Sports Informantion It looks like his ankle fine as he chases after Rickey Watters on a pass play in the flats. Williams jokes around with his defensive coach Greg McMackin about Watters' size and strength. Williams is 5-9, 180 pounds. Watters is 6-1, 217. After two hours of workouts Williams retires to the sideline and the locker room. "There's no comparison," says an exhausted Williams about his five years in the NFL. No comparison to what? "Anything!" he replies. Williams was drafted in 1993 Intramural Update 1 tNTRAMURAL JP°RTS HANDBOOK- CALENDARS may be )icked UP in the Intramural Office 130 in ReidGym- las'um.

In his rookie season he played in all 16 games and one postseason contest as a reserve. His first career start came in 1994 but Williams shined on special teams that year with a team best 19 special team tackles and 12 solos. In 1995, Williams came into his own by starting 15-of-16 regular season contests and leading the AFC in interceptions for the Super Bowl bound Steelers. The appear ance in Super Bowl XXX was the first time a former Catamount played in the famed contest. "The Super Bowl was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget," said Williams. "Hopefully we [the Seahawks] can get back there this year." Following another great year in 1996 Williams became a free agent and signed a hefty four-year, $8.7 million deal with the Seattle Seahawks in February 1997. With his financial future set Williams has changed his focus. "My first goal was to make the money to take care of my family," he commented. "I have done that so now I can go out and just have fun and compete." It wasn't all fun for Williams at Western Carolina. He had to sit out his freshmen year for academic reasons but came on full force his sophomore year by playing all 11 g'ames and recorded 68 tackles, third on the team, and three interceptions. Williams' defensive prowess his sophomore year earned him a second team all-conference selection. Academics were not a problem again. In 1991, Williams'junior campaign, he was second on the Catamounts with 87 tackles and led the team with 12 pass breakups. His 1991 performance put Williams back on the all-conference list and many 1992 preseason all-America lists. Williams calls his 1992 senior season his most memorable season in Cullowhee. It was the only year the Cats had a winning record during his tenure at left corner. The highlight of that season was when the Cats' defensive unit led by Williams held back the mighty Marshall Thundering Herd, who were the top ranked team in I- AA football. "I'll never forget that game," said Williams. The Catamounts would win that game 38-30 and just miss a post-season appearance and Southern Conference title later that season with a loss to Appalachian in the season finale. Now, instead of facing off against the likes of the Mountaineers, Paladins, and Keydets, Williams goes against the Raiders, Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos. So the only question that remains for Williams is: How are you going to defend Ryan Leaf? "You've got to disguise coverages with those inexperienced guys," replied Williams. "We're gonna play around with him a lot." Just have fun, right? "Yes."
