Berea, OH (92.3 The Fan) – To say that Greedy Williams was a little excited when the Browns drafted him 46th overall last Friday night was an understatement.

That excitement, which saw him predict the Browns would make, and win, the Super Bowl this year moments after being drafted, earned him a conversation with head coach Freddie Kitchens this week.


“We’re not in the prediction business,” Kitchens said following the team’s first rookie minicamp practice Friday afternoon.

Williams admitted Friday before practice that the moment, and the excitement that came with it, got the best of him.

“That was just excitement that day. I was excited to know what we had,” Williams said. “So you know right now I'm at work, so I'm definitely learning the playbook, coming in ready to work and hopefully everybody's working toward their goals.

“That's one of our goals.”

Williams isn’t taking back what he said. He just would like to get it out of the headlines.

The Browns would prefer that too.

“I mean, that's what I said,” Williams said. “Like I said, we've got to all come in here and work and show we're one of the teams that got the chance to go to the Super Bowl.”

Kitchens appreciates Williams passion, but he also felt the need to pump the brakes on the rookie.

“I like the confidence,” Kitchens said. “I like the excitement and the passion that he has, but I think that mantra kind of changed today probably, right?”

Kitchens declined to get into details of what specifically he said to Williams, but it was clear that he got his point across.

“That’s between him and I, but I don’t know how many predictions he’ll be making,” Kitchens said with a smile. “He’s a good kid, though. He’s a really good kid and he was just full of excitement and I like excitement and I like enthusiasm and he has a lot of both.”

Williams revealed that Kitchens wasn’t the only one to pull him into an office when he came to the team’s facility for the first time.

General manager John Dorsey had a few words for him as well,

“They told me just come in, study, work hard, get the trust of my teammates, and once I get on that roll, everybody will fall in and hopefully we will be one of those Super Bowl-caliber teams,” Williams said.

Williams, who fell out of the first round to the surprise of some, was the seventh corner off the board last week and that is something that he doesn’t plan to forget.  

“It’s definitely a chip on the shoulder,” Williams said. “Just coming out, like I said, thank Mr. Dorsey for taking a chance with me and I’m going to give him 110 percent of everything I got.

“God put me in a perfect spot. I couldn’t imagine being nowhere else. And like I said, stepping in this facility for the first time felt like home and I’m just ready to get to work with my teammates.”

Those are words Kitchens and Dorsey won’t as him to walk back.
