Stardom is still a new concept for defensive lineman Leonard Williams.
The former No. 6 overall pick was seen as a bust after four years with the New York Jets, and struggled initially to justify the third-round pick and eventual $63 million contract the New York Giants invested in him.
But now, on the first day of Giants training camp, the only narrative surrounding Williams is how he will follow up his breakout 2020 season. That doesn’t mean his mindset has changed.
“You know, you try not to focus on money, you try not to focus on a contract or anything like that that you’re involved in or what to expect,” Williams said.
