Marquise Williams learning he can't always be the hero

Posted Aug 12, 2015
To say Marquise Williams did everything for Carolina's offense last season would be an understatement. Not only did Williams lead the team in passing, he also led the team with 788 yards rushing, as much a threat to score on the ground as through the air. "There were times I could have protected myself, but I just wanted to be that hero," Williams said. "Sometimes I shouldn’t be that hero.” (WRAL Sports Fan)
