Deunta Williams still playing the waiting game

Posted Jul 27, 2011
The NFL lockout is finally over, but Deunta Williams is still playing the waiting game. The former White Oak High School standout and University of North Carolina safety is still trying to recover from a devastating leg injury, which he says is the reason he wasn’t selected in April’s NFL draft. Still living in Chapel Hill, Williams has been in contact with NFL teams “through different sources” while rehabilitating his leg. (Jacksonville Daily News)
