Gregg Williams made polite conversation and congratulated members of the opposition on their win as he trudged onto the field in search of a familiar face following the Rams’ bout with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. When he finally found Eagles running back Darren Sproles, the two embraced like they had once done years ago.
The Rams defensive coordinator and Sproles first met while Sproles was still in high school. Williams was in his boyhood home of Excelsior Springs, Mo., hosting his inaugural “Gregg Williams Foundation Tiger Classic” golf tournament. Amidst the Classic’s ancillary events, Williams also put on a 7-on-7 football tournament.
