Former Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Williams has passed away

News broke Tuesday that former Tampa Bay Buccaneer Mike Williams has died following an accident at a construction site. At just 36 years old Williams was still a young man with a lot of life left to live. While it feels like ages since fans were able to see Williams suit up in the red and pewter for a Sunday showdown at Raymond James Stadium it was just 10 years ago, 2013, when Williams last donned the colors.

Drafted out of Syracuse in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft, Williams’ first three seasons as a professional were an example of how to hit the ground running.
