Broncos cornerback shot and killed in drive-by
By ARNIE STAPLETON, AP Sports Writer
January 1, 2007
DENVER (AP) -- Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting in downtown Denver early Monday morning, police said.
Team spokesman Jim Saccomano said police called him about 3 a.m. from the scene of the shooting and told him three people had been shot and that Williams had been killed.
Saccomano said he spoke with coach Mike Shanahan and others in the organization.
"Complete shock. We're speechless. It takes words away. A terrible tragedy," Saccomano said.
Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said that a little after 2 a.m., the white Hummer limousine that Williams and two others were traveling in was sprayed with bullets from a vehicle that came up along its side. All three people in the limousine were hit. They were taken to area hospitals, where Williams was pronounced dead. The other victims, a male and a female, were not identified. Hours before the shooting, the Broncos lost to San Francisco 26-23 in overtime, eliminating them from the playoff race.
Williams, a second-round pick in the 2005 draft out of Oklahoma State, started nine games as a rookie due to injuries. This season, he took over as the starter for Lenny Walls alongside Champ Bailey, and was second on the team with four interceptions and tied for third with 86 tackles.
On Sunday against the 49ers, he had a sack, a forced fumble, and led the team with seven sacks.
Jackson said police were searching for the suspects and interviewing witnesses. |

A cornerback (also referred to as a corner) is a position in American and Canadian football, more broadly classified as a defensive back. Widely accepted as being the most difficult of all the positions, the modern cornerback is ideally very fast, agile, and has good football instincts. Like any defensive player, he must be able to react faster than his opponent, since he does not have the luxury of knowing where a play is going to go. Essential skills for a cornerback include jamming, backpedaling, jumping, shadowing his man, anticipating a pass route, reading the quarterback, and tackling. |

Probably not too slow (as he must keep up with the players they cover), but dropped too many passes to be a receiver.
Anyway. he won't have to worry about that being dead and all |

Why do you see these guys involved in shootings, drug deals, spouse abuse, etc? I dont want to say it is JUST black athletes but it sure seems that way. Especially when you hear about the shootings at 2am in some club in the middle of downtown (insert city name here).
Allow me to address the black athletes as a group here and now:
a) stop the madness
b) learn to stop running your mouth
c) stay out of areas of high crime
d) if there are drugs there, you shouldn't be
e) don't trust whitey
f) The Lord loves a workin' man
g) See a doctor and get rid of it.
That's all I have to say about that.... |

I'm just saying that he did not engage in thug like activities and was always well thought of on campus, and was also well thought of in the city of Denver.
In his senior year he had a leg injury and him and the head coach at the time had a difference of opinion on when he should return. Turns out Williams was on the right side of that argument and everyone knew it. |

Cornerbacks are usually too short to play receiver. |

NEWS FLASH: Sunday night was New Year's Eve. Everyone wants to blame the victim, especially when the victim was a young black man. Had it been John Lynch you all would be taking this much more seriously and would be totally outraged. |
