Mike Williams predated my time as a Trojan fan but I wanted to share bc this is seriously cool!
The person that is behind the desk that you can only their their eyes on smiled? I think you made a major assumption on their gender and that they smiled!
BMW is still my favorite USC wide receiver of all time. While other receivers will have more catches, yards and TDs, I never saw a more dominant player at the position in my life. Mike Williams was simply un-guardable during his time. I remember watching opposing CBs trying to come up and tackle him and he would just punish them for their foolishness.
BMW is on the short list of most dominating performers I have seen. Him playing against mere college players was like watching a father/son game.
I can't imagine what a junior year would have looked like.

Tough call but I think he was just passed by Drake London. Both unguardable, both dominating.
I remain totally clueless at the monster success BMW had at SC, and his total lack of success in the pros.
One thing that's clear is how terrible his short area burst was...which makes those bubble screens and WR screens all the more mystifying? If he had the relative acceleration of an 18 wheeler, how to explain how many first downs he was able to gain on lateral throws?
I increasingly wonder if my eyes deceived me, and he was just a product of two Heisman winners in Palmer and Leinart, and an offensive schemer at the peak of his powers in Chow. Going back to watch highlights, he was simply open so often, but every few plays, he'd do something that no one else could then or since.
I often wonder if, in the pass happy TE environment that is the current NFL, if he would have written a different story in the pros.

It took me a few looks, but did you not see that person? BTW, how can you count those with a mouth visible as smiling?!? I am so curious about the backstory on the worker behind the desk!
He is a High School football coach in Tampa at The Wharton school.More than likely, thatās an office lady. Her eyes definitely look like sheās smiling too me
Mike is awesome but I'm still a little pissed at him for his '02 performance against Kansas State. 
BMW came to OC Trojan Club when Sark sent his Lb Coach to brief us on recruiting class
What happened was that there was a major disconnect between his college skills as a WR and his pro skills as a WR. In fact, his size and speed were more consistent with a NFL TE than a WR yet I'm not aware if any of the three HCs he played for in Detroit asked him to make that switch, or if they did, whether he was open to doing it. His work ethic was also very questionable which caused him to eat his way out of the league for two years.
Mike Williams was absolutely dominating.
His leaving kind of worked out for USC.
Dwayne Jarrett was suffering from homesickness that next season. Him playing made it easier for him to stay. If BMW stays DW probably doesn't play that much and he probably transfers.
Mike Williams would've been great at inside WR position in Harrell's offense.

I would have gladly taken BMW over DJ.
BMW represented the talent and attitude of the CPC era .. has Jr season stolen from him which I think played a part in his lack of success in the NFL...
Huge part of one of the greatest runs in CFB history
I am proud to call him a fellow Trojan for life

Heās said many times that it was a huge mistake in trying to leave. I blame Michael Irvin and Maurice Clarett.
If anyone is wondering why I blame Irvin, itās quite simple. Irvin did a feature on Mike when he was a sophomore where they went out and did some drills. When he came back to ESPN, after they showed the piece, Michael told the host that he thought Mike Williams was NFL ready right then and there. Someone brought up Larry Fitzgerald and Michael said BMW was more NFL ready than Larry Fitzgerald. That prediction didnāt age well.
And Mo Clarett is obvious.
the Drake but Big Mike Williams will always be #1 for me 
Iirc, he was gonna go to UF, but Spurrier saw him as a TE now than a WR.
Those big WRs were in fashion at the college level at the time, but none of them really panned out in the NFL. Well except Megatron, but he was a freakish athlete.
I was at that game and he was terrible. Dropped a lot of passes especially at the end of the game where Carson threw the perfect pass that could have been a game winner. I think Carson ācoached him upā after that night. He definitely got better from that point onMike is awesome but I'm still a little pissed at him for his '02 performance against Kansas State.
