RENTON, Wash. -- The low point, Kasen Williams said, was last summer when he injured his hamstring.
The Seattle Seahawks' third-year receiver felt like he was ready for a bigger role. The previous offseason, he got signed only after impressing coaches on a tryout basis during a three-day minicamp. Williams stuck on the practice squad as a rookie, and he knew that was a great first step.
But last season, he wanted more. Williams had a strong start to training camp before suffering the injury.
"I was on practice squad again for a whole year," Williams said.
