VIDEO: Jets Rookie Quinnen Williams Compares Being an NFL Player to Weird Type of Madden Inception
By James.r
New York Jets first round pick Quinnen Williams earned the support of Alabama Crimson Tide fans with his ferocious play on the defensive line and relentless effort in pursuit of the quarterback. Now, he's spent the offseason capturing the hearts of Jets fans with his brace-toothed smile and effervescent personality. Watch him describe what it's been like to be a Jet so far:
"It's like playing Madden, but in Madden" is an all-time great quote, but it may not even crack the top two phrases Williams has uttered in the past few months. Everybody's got their own favorites, but the ultimate classic for us will always be when the 21-year-old blessed and thanked himself after a sneeze during a pre-draft interview.
Williams had another hilariously on-brand moment last week when he accidentally proclaimed he was going to "go play with [himself]" (in Madden), before laughing and acknowledging that his phrasing sounded a bit... wrong.
This kid is a national treasure, and he must be protected at all costs. Then again, at 6-3, 295 pounds and with a motor like he has on the football field, maybe he doesn't need too much protection.
