Are you ever watching an NFL game thinking, “I could definitely run faster than him...”? (shout out to the legendary Gold Jacket Witt)
It seems like Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams rolls in some circles with people that do think that way, and one of them decided to do something about it. TMZ reported on Tuesday that, at 5:00 am on Monday, Terrance was leaving a friend’s birthday party and a gauntlet was thrown down by his buddy.
Apparently when exiting the party Terrance’s pal basically asked for a duel in the racing department. Terrance was feeling it (because who doesn’t want to race at 5 am?) and actually obliged... to the point that he needed to take his shirt off. I know personally that when I race at 5 am it needs to be shirtless.
When Terrance Williams went to the NFL Combine in 2013 he ran a 4.52 40-yard dash. This isn’t exactly the mark of a speedster like Barry Allen, but it’s been four years since then and it looks like Terrance is doing alright for himself in the speed department.
Terrance told TMZ that the entire thing was good-natured, so it’s hard to see any sort of issue with it. The Cowboys leave for training camp very soon, and a lot of us will feel a whole lot better once they’re there.
