Adam Gase appreciates Damien Williams and it’s fair to say the backup running back is one of his “guys.”
Gase likes the energy Williams brings to the running back room, likes the way he finds a way to make plays, likes the way he works. He also gets more annoyed at Williams than most players if ever the player makes a mistake because Gase expects more from one of his “guys.”
Well, this offseason Gase and Williams were staying in close contact as the player was deciding what to do as a restricted free agent. And during that time, one of Gase’s favorite players decided it served his interests to visit the division rival New England Patriots with the idea of possibly signing a tender there.
