Williams, a 6-3, 220-pound physical specimen, said he he continued to work hard in the weight room at Texas. Indeed, a Longhorns spokesman told the Morning News that Williams added 10 pounds of muscle during his time at Texas, increasing his maximum bench press more than 70 pounds to 345 during those four years. According to Williams, his current weight program isn't much different than what he did during his four off-seasons in Detroit. Williams went on to explain he stopped lifting weights during the season after dealing with various nicks, pulls and strains his first two years in the NFL. "The year I didn't lift during the season, I made it to the Pro Bowl," he said.
