KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Karen Williams cried when her son, Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams, failed to be selected in any of the seven rounds of the 2018 NFL draft. She thought he would never get a shot to play football at its highest level.
She was filled with emotion of a different kind on Sunday at home in Louisiana while watching Williams play for the Chiefs. Williams scored two touchdowns and led his team with 62 rushing yards in a 31-13 victory in Washington.
"I was screaming and hollering so loud I didn't think I'd have a voice when the game was over," Karen Williams said.
