"Three years ago, Corey Williams was a bright young star on an up-and-coming team. Then he was dispatched to Cleveland where his star faded and he drifted out of sight. Now that he's back in a 4-3 defense with the Detroit Lions, Williams plans to be that "franchise player'' again and help turn around the Lions' fortunes. While the Green Bay Packers stuck the franchise tag on Williams in 2008, it wasn't because he was one of the best players on the team, just one of the most valuable players at a vital position. Despite the fact Williams had back-to-back seasons of seven sacks, the Packers traded him to the Browns for a second-round pick. Williams was moved from a 4-3 tackle to a 3-4 end, where his responsibilities are dramatically different. One of those changes is the lack of pass rush opportunities and it was reflected in his total of 4.5 sacks over the last two years." http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf/2010/06/corey_williams_hopes_to_regain.html
