Relieved to have sixth year, Williams makes most of his days at NU

It's not quite to that point where teammates are asking Kevin Williams what it was like wearing leather helmets, but let's put it this way: The defensive tackle who will still be playing football for Nebraska in 2016 committed to the Huskers before it was even announced they were joining the Big Ten.

He committed to NU in April 2010. Jim Delany didn't show up in Lincoln with a red "N" pinned on his suit coat until two months after that.

"Me and Jamal (Turner) were the first people here, and I'm going to be the last one out," Williams said last week, finding the humor in it.
