You’ve just got to (come and) see. We understood that he had been on the banquet cir cuit. But he lost it and he looked sharp. That showed me a little something.” Being on the rubber-chicken circuit was tough “only because you’re not working out,” Williams said. “Eating wasn’t that bad, it’s just that you’re traveling so much that it’s really hard to take time to work out.” As for his diet, “I just kind of made up stuff,” Williams said. “1 got by. It changed almost every day. I had to work extremely hard. It was n’t just strictly diet.” The hardest thing he gave up? “Oh, all sweets. Doughnuts, cheesecake. That’s about it. Just sweets. Right now I’m go ing to a doughnut shop.” Palmer said Williams was timed anywhere from 4.6 seconds to 4.72 running against the wind in the 40 and anywhere from 4.43 to 4.52 in two heats with the wind. Two other college players who were being timed suf fered hamstring injuries on the cold and blus tery day. Among those in the crowd of 200 watching the workout were Cleveland general manager Dwight Clark, Indianapolis CM Bill Polian and coach Jim Mora, New Orleans Saints CM Bill Kuharich and Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green. - 99 2txMl£* 2-pootS- CaKC-U Rodman, W TAMU 764-1* 99 Bra/xl nei tmef 99 Gogeou KOk.
