JERSEY CITY - Perry Williams was an 11-year-old boy living in North Carolina when he decided he would one day earn a college football scholarship, play in the NFL, and win a Super Bowl championship.
His mother and grandmother joked with him, saying maybe he'll win a toilet bowl some day.
"I used to tell them that I was going to be somebody one day," Williams said. "I was going to make something positive happen in my life."
Fourteen years later Williams was a cornerback for the New York Giants playing in Super Bowl XXI.
