I know you got to remember this guy.
The crazy thing is, when I think about Harvey Williams, the thing that sticks out in mind the most, was his long neck. Every time I seen him play I couldn't help but picture a bird wearing a football helmet.
Williams was less than stellar with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his first two seasons, Bary Word and Christian Okoye consistently beat Williams out for playing time. In both seasons, he finished behind Word and Okoye in rushing yards. By 1993, Marcus Allen joined the team and would become the starter, meaning that Williams' days in Kansas City were numbered.
In 1994, Williams moved on to Marcus Allen's former team, the Los Angeles Raiders. He would finally get a chance to be a starter, and would respond with two good seasons. He would rush for 983 yards in 1994. He followed up this season with his only 1,000 yard rushing season, rushing for 1,114 yards and 9 touchdowns in 1995.
After 1995 Williams would lose his starting job to another first round pick, Napoleon Kaufman and would eventually be moved to tight end. In 1997 he had perhaps his most memorable game as a pro, scoring 4 touchdowns in a 38-13 win over the San Diego Chargers. He would stay with the Raiders until his release after the 1998 NFL season.
