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

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)
