Dallas Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams has the support of owner Jerry Jones and coach Mike McCarthy after a second arrest this year in a traffic-related incident.
Williams is facing charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon after he was pulled over for speeding in the Dallas suburb of Frisco on Sunday.
“I think any time you make a mistake, it’s a good wake-up call,” McCarthy said Thursday. “I believe Sam Williams. I did when we drafted him and even more so now. So I’m seeing him grow in so many different ways. He needs to slow down. He knows that. So that’s the first step.” Williams told the arresting officer he had a gun in the car, and the officer conducted a search after smelling the odor of marijuana. The officer found small amounts of THC and marijuana, which resulted in the weapon charge.
Asked about Williams’ off-field issues at Ole Miss combined with the arrests in less than two years with the Cowboys, Jones said, “This sounds a little hollow, but he is maturing.”
