Every face lights up when Ian Williams walks into the Boys and Girls Club in his hometown of Altamonte Springs, Fla.
The 6-foot-1, 305-pound defensive lineman for the San Francisco 49ers is a hero in the city located about 10 miles north of Orlando. And on every trip home during the NFL offseason, you Williams makes multiple visits to the place that holds such a special place in his heart.
For Williams, his relationship with the Boys & Girls Club is a lifelong commitment that began thanks to his late grandmother, Lillie Mai H. Green.
