Some people might say Williams needs to chill and let his kid get "rewarded" for competing. Others will say the Steelers running back did the right thing by not allowing his daughter to be complacent and accept a prize just for participating.
Williams is not the first Pittsburgh player to employ this philosophy. Last year, linebacker James Harrison grabbed everybody's attention by doing the same thing:
