I think Karl Powe was skinnier. Rocket didn't weigh much either.

There's one picture from training camp his rookie yr. Its 130 degrees and there is Williams with a jersey that engulfs him and a white undershirt under it. It almost looks like there is absolutely no "body" underneath it.
If he weighed 170 lbs soaking wet, I'd be surprised.
all I remember is that Troy refused to throw to him because he ran shitty routes
Call it progress. You do know at one time you had a Hispanic holder in Romo, holding the ball for a Hispanic kicker named Jose Cortez?
And I would imagine that many other Hispanics that are Cowboys' fans like yourself, feel the same way; to which there is nothing wrong with that. And Jerry being the businessman that he is recognizes this marketing potential with that segment of the population, while getting a good player to boot---albeit one that we did not need. Yet when I pointed this out... you jumped all over my ass and accuse me of being a racist. .
It will be a popular jersey. Cowboys have a ton of Hispanic fans, especially here in AZ and in CA. I can already hear the fans at Oxnard all over this guy.
and everlasting calm down, I'm bot being racist. Just making an observation.
Hispanic fans like rooting for Hispanic players. They root for white and Black players too but it's like it's a pride, being proud kind of issue. Nothing wrong with that.
I remember how proud/excited my Black Cowboy fan friends were when Quincy Carter was named starting QB. These guys all loved Aikman but it was a big deal to many that the Cowboys had a Black QB. To me, on a much smaller level it's like Black people taking more of an interest in MLB when Jackie Robinson signed or the same deal with golf when Tiger Woods took off. Pride in your heritage and being able to don a jersey of someone who shares it. All good things.
No Frederick jersey despite my whiteness. For the record, my Great Grandmother is Spanish and was born in Mexico. My kids are both Black. I'm hardly a racist. Except for Asians, I hate them (hi Sheik).
if you dont think hispanics will buy his jersey just because he is hispanic then you are delusional..has nothing to do with being racist..its a pride thing..
He likes to paint and play basketball. His favorite player was Brandon Jacobs.
That said, i think it’s pretty cool to have a hispanic QB throwing to a hispanic TE on America’s Team.
Exciting stuff.
I don’t wear jersey’s but if i did, i wouldn’t get one based on race.
I said your comment was racist, and it was. You said the ONLY reason Jerry drafted him was to sell jerseys as if that is the only reason possible why a hispanic player would be drafted. You are holding his race against him for no reason other than your own personal racism. You later backed down from your comments and admitted he was a good player. My favorite Cowboy player is Dez Bryant, a black dude. I guess i don’t see why race has to even be a factor into anything.
Ok. The PRIMARY reason. Satisfied? And no I didn't back donw my comments. I still stand by them. Jerry is always the businessman.
