Random, Outdated, and Not Draft-Related: ICYMI, DeAngelo Williams is a huge a-hole

So, I randomly came across this video from 2017 that I had never seen before of DeAngelo Williams completely ripping into Kyle Brandt and Pete Schraeger of NFLN.  If you've ever watched their show, it's often goofy, sometimes corny, but always light-hearted...  except for this episode.  A conversation about an upcoming Pats-Steelers (who he was no longer even playing for) game took a left turn when DeAngelo ripped into the aforementioned for not playing pro football, so their opinion was worthless.  It came off even more arrogant, because Brandt actually played football at Princeton.  This was extremely tense and awkward.  It's just crazy to see how fan-friendly DeAngelo seemed to be early in his career, in contrast to where he ended up reputation-wise.  Words don't do this justice.  It was rough.

Yeah the years leading up to 'double trouble' and until he left the team I really liked how he presented himself. Then something changed and it seemed like he got very bitter... 

Probably all the headshots he took.

His mother passed and it changed him.

Sad but it’s clear.  He didn’t take it well.

Exactly it. When a mother fuger laughs at his own poo constantly, and it's not funny and cringe worthy, it just looks like a total internet troll. What a tool man.

People saying he changed but maybe he was like that the whole time....

Idk, I never had personal interactions with him, but was under the impression that prior to his mother passing, he was very friendly and involved with fans and such...  it seemed he became more introverted, bitter, and standoffish after his mother passed.

I'm honestly not sure he actually "changed" at any point.

I think it's more that his early "nice guy" image was a carefully crafted illusion by some of his people.

I've thought this was possible as well, but he did do a lot of fan-centered events during the peak Double Trouble days and from every one here who interacted with him seemed like they genuinely enjoyed it and found him personable...  and he seemed very accessible and engaged a lot with fans on twitter in a friendly manner...  that's an awful lot of acting to keep up with for that many years, but idk...  it's possible.  I just never heard anything bad about him as a person until after things changed with his mother.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
