Leonard Williams happy to prove doubters wrong

When the New York Giants and general manager Dave Gettleman traded for defensive lineman Leonard Williams during the 2019 NFL season many fans of the team weren’t happy due to the fact that he was regarded as a first round bust that the New York Jets were just trying to unload.

A year later and Williams finished the season with 11.5 sacks and was a huge part in helping the Giants’ defense knock off the Seattle Seahawks in the middle of the season as well as defeat the Dallas Cowboys in week 17 to go out with a win and have a shot at the playoffs.
