Former Steelers RB Karlos Williams throws threats at former Bills GM

The career of former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Karlos Williams didn’t go as planned. Problems with conditioning and substance abuse hindered any hope of a promising NFL career. Now, according to The Athletic, he is looking to get back into football but went off on his old general manager Doug Whaley.

We won’t share the specific comments, but you can click the tweet above and see just how graphic Williams chose to be about Whaley.

When the Steelers signed Williams in October of 2016 it seemed like a great fit. Williams had proven the season before when in shape he could be a solid NFL back. However, the Steelers were taking a risk because Williams was coming off a four-game suspension for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.

A month into his tenure with the Steelers, the brother Pittsburgh linebacker Vince Williams found himself suspended for a full year as a repeat offender. Once the suspension was lifted, the Steelers released him only to see him suspended for another full year for a third violation.
