TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - Two keywords at Dallas Cowboys training, camp: energy, and excitement. But who owns the excitement? I think maybe DE Sam Williams does, and so does Coach Brian Schottenheimer.
That excitement had to be tamped down as Williams was too physical in a drill. Coach Schottenheimer had to step in.
“The journey that Sam has been on the past 11 months ... really 12 months ... is incredible. We understand why he was so excited being out there but again, I showed it to the team today. I told him. said ‘hey you’re gonna have an incredible year became practice like that’,” said Schottenheimer.
Williams is anxious, or make that excited, because he’s back on the field after suffering a torn ACL, a grueling rehab during the off season. It forced him to stay in check and focused.
