Elijah McGuire is probably wishing Quinnen Williams took a few more weeks to sign his rookie deal with the New York Jets.
During a play in training camp, McGuire took a hand-off, looked up, and saw all 295 pounds of Williams standing in front of him. Williams didn’t take it easy on his teammate either, planting McGuire into the ground with immense force in a video tweeted by the team.
That couldn’t have felt good. Williams didn’t even drag McGuire down, instead choosing to use his 81-pound weight advantage to knock McGuire down with his shoulder, just adding insult on top of proverbial injury.
