It’s difficult to fathom how much better Williams can get after leading Buffalo with 13 sacks – one short of matching a career best – and contributing to a defense that had a franchise-record 57 sacks
What troubles Williams in assessing a year in which he earned his third Pro Bowl selection is how little of a dent he made in the Bills’ overall success. Buffalo went 6-10. That’s the same record Buffalo had in Williams’ first season, when the defensive end created an expectation-raising stir in free agency by signing a six-year, $100 million contract.
That’s led Williams to a sobering conclusion. As he first insisted amid the buzz his signing created, even a player nicknamed ”Super Mario” can’t carry the team.
”Football is a complete and ultimate team sport. No matter what level of talent you bring in, it’s not one individual,” Williams said. ”I said it then: ‘You can’t have one person completely change the whole culture.’ It can never be one person, no matter how great you are.”
That was evident last season.
