Hate to be a buzzkill but Williams was on the street for a reason. And practice squads are expanded this year, so that tells us even more.
NFL players lift weights all offseason because there isn't much time for that during the season, given recovery time, working around injuries, etc. That's why any of them will tell you they get weaker as the season progresses. My guess is that Williams, not having been on a roster for a while, was able to devote that time to working out, so he was able to come into the game at peak strength and with fresh legs (and being motivated to make a roster, of course). I think we'll see him level out as the year goes on and not be on the roster next year.
