If Mike Williams and Preston Smith happen to feel a little extra tired by the time the regular season end, it’ll be for a good reason. For the fans and media, the focus on both will be on their play. How well Williams can catch the ball downfield and provide more chunk plays. How effectively Smith can set the edge and get after the quarterback in his rotational reps.
But the quirk is in how much they’re slated to play. With the NFL switching to an 18-week schedule in 2021, Williams and Smith have a chance to join a small club of players to appear in all 18 games in a single season.
