Sleepless nights, draft-night tears: The indescribable bond between Javonte Williams and his father

Posted Jun 19, 2022
For Jermaine Williams, every night preceding a Denver Broncos game day is a sleepless one. Even though it's his son, Javonte Williams, who suits up in orange and blue these days, Jermaine's as anxious for game day as he was as a teenage linebacker for James Kenan High School decades earlier. "The night before the game, I don't sleep," Jermaine says. (Denver Broncos)
