If your first instinct when you heard that the Packers had invited John Williams in for a pre-draft visit was to make a Star Wars joke, you’re not alone. Several of the more science fiction-oriented among us in the Acme Packing Company Slack had similar reactions.
I’m delighted to inform you, then, that Cincinnati’s John Williams, in addition to being an interesting offensive line prospect, is also an aerospace engineering major. Calling him “Star Wars” Williams would be entirely appropriate. He’s allowed to say “well, it’s not rocket science” about literally anything a pro team throws at him.
