That means he was a leader.

Now that Oklahoma Roy Williams has been release from the team, let’s take a quick look back at some players Dallas passed on in order to acquire Roy back in 2002. First, let’s set the scene:

Dallas was slated with the #6 pick, which they swapped out with Kansas City for #8 in a trade. The 8th pick in the draft was made by Dallas for defensive safety Roy Williams. Players of note drafted above him were QB David Carr, DE Julius Peppers, and QB Joey Harrington. Now let’s look at the players taken AFTER Roy in the 2002 draft, and daydream about “what if” they had come to Dallas:
