Grambling's Johnathan Williams has gone from third string to one of the best SWAC QBs

NEW ORLEANS -- Johnathan Williams was convinced during the summer that Grambling would be an improved team in 2014. The Tigers junior quarterback said during the Manning Passing Academy in July that new coach Broderick Fobbs had brought a new attitude to the squad, one where the team came before the individual player.

That, he said, would be the difference.

Williams truly bought into that philosophy as he went from starter at the end of the 2013 season to third string at the end of preseason camp in August.

But Williams, a 5-foot-11, 185-pounder from Tampa, Fla., never pouted about his plight and kept working to make the Tigers better.
