Random, Outdated, and Not Draft-Related: ICYMI, DeAngelo Williams is a huge a-hole

[TylerDurden]

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.

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.

Agreed. He was different after that.

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.

Speaking of deangelo... the fuger definitely threw shade at JStew on Twitter.

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.
