Really stupid quote: "Williams is the poster boy for all those overrated University of Texas players who go bust in the NFL."

Sports media meme.

The higher the draft pick, the higher the scrutiny. He definitely has underperformed, but a lot of Texas players have – as have a ton of non-Texas players. When you’re the flagship university of the biggest state that plays football, then they’re going to call you out more often than other schools.

Hopefully Roy (as well as Limas) has it in him this off-season to get back to the top of the depth chart. It seems like the other meme about Texas players is that they languish for a few years before busting out better than ever. See recently: Ricky Williams, Cedric Benson, Jamaal Charles, Vince Young (debatable if he ever languished).
