Sad news out of Seattle.
Awful news from the Seahawks today as Jesse Williams, he of the massive bench press and key contributor on the Tide's 2011 and 2012 national championship teams, was diagnosed with "papillary type 2 cancer" which will require kidney surgery. Hailing from Australia, Jesse quickly became a fan favorite in Tuscaloosa with his flamboyant personality, face paint, and superhuman strength. His importance to the team was underscored in the 2012 SEC Championship Game as star tailback Todd Gurley was able to make hay when Jesse missed a few snaps with a knee injury sustained in the game.
