Quinnen Williams wedges himself into a teal vinyl booth in an IHOP in Homewood, Alabama. The maneuver takes some creativity, a touch of contorting. He's not big for an NFL-bound defensive tackle; some might even call him -- oh, the horror! -- a tad undersized. But he's 6-foot-3 and about 300 pounds. He's still a massive human.
Maybe that's why he catches so many second looks this afternoon. It's a Sunday in early April and it feels possible that every churchgoer in the greater Birmingham area has flocked to this very IHOP to eat their post-church omelet with a, ahem, "side" of unlimited pancakes.
