The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills wide receiver was hit on the head by a beam and died after three days of agony. In his career he had earned 12 million
Almost 12 million earned in NFL career, died at 36 working on a construction site. the sad story of former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mike Williams.
Williams, reports a broadcaster from Buffalo, his hometown, in 2010 he was the fourth pick in the draft, winning the Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In his career he earned almost 12 million dollars (11,848), but he was still working on a construction site when, on the evening of September 1, he was allegedly hit on the head by a steel beam. Admitted to hospital in intensive care – claims the father Wendell Muhammad Williams on a fundraising page to support travel expenses – he had suffered brain spills and spinal cord rupture.
He never woke up and would be paralyzed in his right arm and from the waist down, adds the father on Go Fund me.
After earning money with the Buccaneers, he signed a $40.2 million deal over six seasons, but a hamstring injury slowed him down, and Tampa traded him to the Bills. Even there, however, he hadn’t been able to play long, and since then — other than a presence in the 2014 Hall of Fame Game — he had only recorded two preseasons with the Kansas City Chiefs.
In his career he recorded 223 receptions for 3,089 yards and 26 touchdowns in 63 games, including 52 as a starter.
