D.J. Williams

    Many football players seem to have troubled childhoods. One among them is D.J. Williams, a star player originally from Texas, recently graduated into the NFL. He is wildly successful as a footballer, but he was not always so confident about his life and his future. His father, now residing resplendently in a maximum-security prison cell, is bipolar. He abused alcohol, cocaine, and his wife for many years, physically and verbally and in front of the kids. He was arrested for verbal abuse and served 90 days in jail, after which he started abuse again. One day he and D.J. were out fishing, and he presented the child with a gun, instructing him to shoot anyone who disturbs them. That experience almost drove him to suicide. He told his mother, who decided it was time to take the kids and leave. The next day, his father shot a man in frustration and was arrested for a longer period.
    D.J. is not sure where his future will take him. He decided to go to Little Rock, Arkansas and join the football team. He graduated and will join the NFL, for what team he is not sure.
    Wow, Texas. That's all I have to say.
