Maxx Williams Following Role Models, Ready For Jump In Year 2

As one of the league’s youngest players last year, Ravens tight end Maxx Williams relied on his dad for advice.

Brian Williams played nine seasons as a center for the New York Giants and gave his son many words of wisdom – mostly about keeping his head down, mouth shut and work ethic high.

But it’s different hearing from a role model and seeing one (or more) on the field every day.

As a 21-year-old rookie, Williams didn’t have a whole lot of experience around him last year. The teams’ other tight ends (at least those on the field) were Crockett Gillmore, who was entering his second season, and fellow rookie Nick Boyle.
