Erik Williams gives back

Erik Williams once was one of the most amazing offensive tackles in the NFL. He was an all-star for the Dallas Cowboys, but got into a major car accident in 1994 that derailed his football career.

About two years ago, Williams rededicated his life to God. In a column on the Dallas Cowboys Web site, Williams reflects on his relationship with God:

'I was praying, and God spoke to me. He told me that I owe Him, that He has blessed me and I needed to be living differently. That's what has put me on the path I'm on.'

Williams now is giving back to the next generation of football players by coaching as an assistant offensive line coach on the team's Minority Fellowship coaching program.
