All Buffalo Bills fans know exactly who Kyle Williams is. The star nosetackle has played his entire career with the Bills and has made it to four Pro Bowls in the time spent with the team. Williams has easily been one of the best players on the team and has continued his great performance in 2016. In week 11, Kyle played a key role as the Bills defense shut the Bengals down in a huge victory.
You'd think a player like him would get more respect. Instead, Fox Sports decided that they would make a collection of errors with the profile on their website.
A Disaster of a Profile.
If you aren't following Joe Buscaglia on Twitter, I highly recommend it. He trolls Mike Rodak, has endless Doug Marrone pictures, and gives some pretty great takes on the team. And his latest Tweet showcased the ridiculousness of an incorrect Kyle Williams profile.
There are a ton of issues with the Fox Sports profile here, and the most obvious is that Williams does not play for the Jets. But one that could be even more obvious is that Williams is certainly not 186 pounds.
According to NFL.com, Williams is actually 303 pounds, a far more appropriate weight for a defensive tackle. But those aren't the only issues.
Williams was not drafted in the sixth round of the 2010 draft by the 49ers either. Kyle was actually drafted in the fifth round of the 2006 NFL draft by the Buffalo Bills. This also corresponds with the obvious age difference. Williams is currently 33 years old, but Fox suggests that he is actually 28. I don't think the Bills defensive tackle would mind if that mistake were actually correct.
Either way, this profile is a complete disaster. How can a network as professional as Fox Sports turn Kyle Williams into a 186 pound New York Jets wide receiver? And which player should this be?
Two Kyle Williams?
It certainly looks like the two players were confused for one another. Kyle Williams was drafted by the 49ers in 2010 and is currently a New York Jets wide receiver. But it's still pretty sad that the two could ever be confused for one other. One weighs more than 100 pounds than the other, plays defense, and is five years older. Fox Sports might have made an honest mistake here, but that doesn't mean we can't rip on them for it.
