Just two years ago, he played all 16 games, and averaged 4.4 ypc for 458 yards with two TDs, and also averaged 9 ypr and 389 yards receiving with two TDs.Mine is the same as it is every year and the signing of Vonn Bell makes it more so. SHAWN WILLIAMS
That is 847 all-purpose yards and 4 TDs. This was after the Shazier concussion.
I think using Gio more as an active receiver in a pattern (instead of staying home to block on 3rd downs...) will finally use more of his potential.
Everyone loves Gio the person, but we have somewhat forgotten about Gio the player. Maybe this is the rationale for the mustache? Maybe no one will see him coming.
That is my "forgotten guy". Who is yours?
Over the last 2 years he's had
218 tackles (155 solo)
6 INTS for 143 yards and a TD
2 sacks
12 PDs
Everybody's excited about the signing of the OSU product, but during that same time frame Bell has:
50 fewer tackles
5 fewer Int's for 124 fewer yards and 0 TDs
4 fewer PDs
He does has .5 more sacks
Shawn Williams has quite possibly been our most consistent performer in the last couple years and has only missed 5 games in 7 years.
