 | Former Jaguars WR Reggie Williams trying to catch on in Seattle |
By Michael C. Wright Former Jaguars first-round pick Reggie Williams is attempting to salvage what once seemed a promising career in the NFL.
Picked ninth overall by the Jags in the 2004 NFL Draft, Williams will participate in the Seattle Seahawks' three-day minicamp beginning Tuesday. Williams hasn't played in the NFL since the 2008 season - the last year of his contract with the Jags -when he caught 37 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns.
Following the 2008 season, the Jaguars didn't re-sign Williams and he became a free agent.
Williams was then arrested in Houston for driving while intoxicated and possession of .97 grams of marijuana on the same day as the beginning of the free-agency signing period.
A Harris County (Texas) judge dismissed the charges last spring after finding no probable cause for the traffic stop that resulted in the arrest. But Williams was unable to find another team, and was out of the league last year.
