Preseason Roundtable, Part V

Posted Aug 6, 2009
What you are hearing is right about [safety] Melvin [Williams]. That guy is not afraid of anything. Big-time hitter, enjoys playing the game, and I would take him on my team. I would bet we see him primarily on special teams and in defensive situations. Goal line, jumbo personnel, and they might even play him at nickel because of his ability to play the run. He does it the right way, on and off the field. (Inside Carolina)
