Lining up at free-safety the Dallas Cowboys have one of the most feared defenders in the NFL. A heavy hitter who plays the run better than any safety in the league. He makes two-hundred twenty plus-pound running backs pause when they come through the hole. His name is Roy Williams.
But now when he hears his name in the same sentence as a big play he might be on the sidelines - probably with a big fat smile on his face.
America's Team has acquired the 'other' Roy Williams, a perennial pro-bowl wide receiver, from the Detroit Lions. The two have squared off every year on Thanksgiving Day, each delivering their own share of blows to a rivalry that dates back to their college days. Where Roy (the receiver) played at Texas, while the safety played at his arch rival - Oklahoma.
For the first time in their illustrious careers one isn't trying to nail the other, or burn the other deep. For the first time they are paired together on the same team. It could be a combination that could lead the Cowboy's to the Super Bowl.
