We now have our most moving story of draft weekend.
Former Utah running back Joe Williams, who was taken by the San Franisco 49ers with the 121st overall pick, shared a heartfelt explanation as to why he briefly stepped away from football. Williams left the Utes program two games into the 2016 season. His absence lasted nearly a month before he returned against Oregon State on Oct. 15.
Upon being drafted in San Francisco, Williams bravely described the reason behind his decision and how it has helped him move forward from a traumatic family experience.
