NFL Free Agent Running Back DeAngelo Williams has been active in the wrestling world, and recently appeared on Impact Wrestling in a match. Apparently he is still in wrestling promo-shoot/trash talking mode, as he took shots at the Dallas Cowboys and the fanbase in a recent interview with Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Williams eliminated four teams (Cowboys, Jaguars, Panthers and Browns) from his list of potential landing spots, but took extra time to throw more shade at the Dallas Cowboys and the fanbase. Williams was supporter of the 49ers growing up, and said that being a fan of the San Francisco would not allow him to play for the Cowboys.
“I’m an ’80s baby, I was born in 1983, and the 49ers ruled the ’80s,” Williams said. “The Cowboys somewhat did something in the ’90s. I even refuse to give them that, as a Niners fan.”
Williams who is a 11-year veteran, spent the past two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after playing nine with the Carolina Panthers (who he also ruled out as one of the teams he’d be willing to play for).
Williams did not play last year during the Steelers’ loss to Dallas last season in week 10 of the regular season due to a knee injury.
“The Cowboys, they win, they just, they don’t ever show up during the playoffs, though,” Williams said. “Like, they always disappear in the playoffs. I got a great depiction of the Cowboys fan base during the regular season last year, they were on cloud nine. You couldn’t tell them anything, anything, because they were gonna win the championship. That’s all they said, like, fans just got extremely super annoying, and then the minute they lose, they either got cheated, somebody was hurt, like the excuses start flowing.
“It’s just amazing to me, just that fan base, just in general, they can’t handle defeat. I mean, still to this day, they say the Dez Bryant catch against the Green Bay Packers was a catch.”
NFL Training Camp begins in just under two weeks. If Williams would like to get in the ring with any of the teams that he’s eliminated from his potential landing spot list, he’ll need to get a phone call soon.
