Falcons Uniform History: #51 and the speedy, forgotten Demorrio Williams

Remember him?

Every team's history is littered with quality players who disappear into the ether of forgetfulness once they leave a team. Demorrio Williams is one such player for the Falcons, and he's our pick as the best #51 in the franchise's 50 years.

Williams is forgotten despite playing 64 games in four seasons in Atlanta, putting up 250 tackles, 6.5 sacks, five interceptions and a defensive touchdown as an incredibly speedy pursuit during the 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons. He was, like so many of his peers on this list, not a truly great player, but he was a solid-to-good starter in a very talented linebacking corps for several seasons.
