Re: This Day in History Ditka trades eight picks to draft Ricky Williams in 99
We can knock it all we want but I bet most of us at least a part of us was pumped. That year was the only time I ever attended a Saints practice and there were literally thousands of WhoDats there. Ditka was convinced that Ricky Williams was Walter Peyton. Ricky was awesome at hitting the hole and gettin u 5-10 yds but he lacked balance and cutting ability so he almost never popped long runs. He always left you with that, "ooh he almost broke it" feeling. Deuce would go 5, 7, 5, 60 because he had some wiggle or he'd truck you without slowing down. Deuce also had hands. Pack a bowl for me Ricky.
