Mike Williams: “I didn’t quit”

Wide receiver Mike Williams with redskins jersey wanted to make one point emphatically clear.

“I didn’t quit,” Williams said today at the NFL scouting combine. ”I just want everybody to know I didn’t quit.” Williams’ mysterious departure from the Syracuse football team has been cloaked in relative secrecy. According to a league source, Williams had a serious falling-out with coach Doug Marrone that ended his tenure with the Orangemen. Wiliams declined to elaborate on the reasons why he didn’t complete his career at Syracuse, but said he’s been honest and forthright with NFL teams.

"I’ve been talking to all the NFL teams about that, I want to leave it at that," Williams said. "I want everybody to know is I didn’t quit. I’ll leave that story at that. All the teams know the whole story. I don’t want to make it a big media story."
