It’s been nothing short of a sweet homecoming for defensive tackle Xavier Williams, who, after receiving a contract offer from the Kansas City Chiefs in March, packed up his things and left the desert in Arizona for the greener pastures of Missouri — his home state.
Williams is from Kansas City and attended Grandview High School. Now he’s playing for the NFL team he grew up cheering for.
“Man, it’s amazing,” Williams said. “A lot of guys grow up dreaming about their childhood team and getting a chance to play and only a few guys get an opportunity to play in the NFL — even still rarely do they get an opportunity to come and enjoy home cooked meals with all the family and everything.
