Mike Williams’ career with the New York Jets wasn’t what he envisioned it’d be. He signed with the team without taking other visits, including one scheduled with Pittsburgh, hoping to be part of a Super Bowl contender teeming with talent. QB Aaron Rodgers, RB Breece Hall, fellow WR Garrett Wilson, and a top-ten defense. It was the right recipe. Instead, he caught 12 passes in nine games and was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers at the deadline.
Speaking to reporters one day after being dealt, Williams reflected on why his time with the Jets went belly-up.
“Not having OTAs, training camp, all that to get the chemistry right with Aaron,” Williams said via the team website.
