Brandon Williams is small.

The former Wisconsin Badgers wideout stands a mere 5-11 and 175 pounds. Not exactly the prototypical build for an NFL wide receiver. However, the San Francisco 49ers were willing to overlook this obvious knock and selected Williams in the third round of this year's NFL draft (84th overall). So the question at hand is can this diminutive pass catcher make a niche for himself at the pro level?

Before you start throwing out names like Steve Smith and Santana Moss as evidence in Williams' favor, keep in mind that those two Pro Bowlers are actually quite different in several key aspects. First of all, they are actually more compact than the rather lanky Williams. Smith packs on 185 pounds on his 5-9 frame while Moss carries 190 pounds on his 5-10 frame. This extra weight gives both of these guys an edge in terms of durability and also allows them to break tackles from time to time. At this point, there is no guarantee that Williams' rather svelte frame will endow him with either of these positive traits.

Also, there is another very key difference between the two aforementioned Pro Bowlers and Brandon Williams; flat out speed. Williams turned in a rather pedestrian 4.49 40-yard-dash while both Smith and Moss are known for possessing virtual "world class" speed on the football field. This lack of game-breaking speed, combined with his narrow frame, does not bode well for a guy who will be going up against NFL-caliber gladiators week in and week out. Still, Williams proved to be a very elusive target when returning kicks for the Badgers, so maybe he can utilize that elusiveness to compensate for both his lack of speed and lack of size. He also piled up 202 receptions and over 3,000 receiving yards during his college career, so he's not completely incapable of succeeding out wide.

Many pundits have Williams pegged as a kick return specialist first and foremost, and with good reason. But don't be surprised if the skinny kid from St. Louis proves the critics wrong and finds a spot for himself in the San Francisco 49ers offense. He might not fit the NFL wide reciever bill exactly, but then again, the NFL is all about breaking the mold.

Although Terrell Owens is nowhere to be found, Bill Parcells has made it clear that T.O. will be on board the Dallas Cowboys ' ship that sails in September. "He's done everything I wanted... I'm not giving him special leeway," Parcells said in his Friday press conference.

Parcells also made it clear that Owens will not be the man, like he was in San Francisco and Philadelphia. "He's not going to catch 100 balls, so I don't worry about him making that adjustment."

That's all well and good in May. After you've just come off a suspension; when your agent has instructed you to be on your best behavior and give all the right answers, it's easy to oblige.

The real test will come when the Dallas Cowboys lose a game and Owens is a non-factor because either someone else is getting passes thrown their way in the new fancy Dallas offense or Drew Bledsoe is not upright long enough to just get Owens the ball.

So while it may be okay with T.O. now, does anyone doubt that come September, it will still be acceptable to him then?

Now I do believe that Owens intends to stay quiet for at least a little while. But once the games start and his competitive juices start flowing, is there anyone who can visualize T.O. giving his own version of the "whatever's best for the team" spiel? So there is a real chance that Owens will eventually lash out.

However, the difference this year is that if T.O. does go off, Parcells, unlike Andy Reid and Steve Mariucci, will nip it in the bud before it grows into a full blown crisis. After all, he was the only coach that could keep Keyshawn Johnson in check.

When asked what would happen if Owens calls out Bledsoe at some point, Parcells quickly replied "I'll take care of it."

If it were any other coach, you'd have to be skeptical. With Parcells, you can take it to the bank.

The golden boy of the yellow and green, a man who can do no wrong in the eyes of the Packer faithful, the destined for Canton, the immortal.

Brett Favre.

The Mississippi native has utterly mesmerized Packer fans throughout his career, causing their utter delusion. The man could probably commit a heinous crime, and nary a soul would blink. The response from Wisconsin would likely be minimal at best.

So when exactly did this seemingly blind love and trust begin?

In 1992, Favre was acquired via trade from the Atlanta Falcons , where he was known as a partier and butted heads with head coach Jerry Glanville. It cost the Packers their first-round pick in 1993's draft; but needless to say, Favre's elite NFL career has grossly tilted the scales of this trade in Green Bay's favor.

When starting quarterback Don Majkowski turned his ankle in a Week Three matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in 1992, Favre saw his first action as a member of the Green Bay Packers . He proceeded to lead a rousing comeback, capped off with a game-winning touchdown pass to Kittrick Taylor as time expired. Ever since, he has manned the starting position, and has yet to relinquish it. Whether he should still have it is another topic, which many pundits have debated ad nauseam.

Now nobody is going to deny that Favre will go down as one of the all-time greats, but the fact is that he is vastly overrated by Packer fans as well as most media pundits. While his supporters would love to believe Favre was and is infallible, treating him in a god-like manner, let's not be facetious. Favre has made plenty of mistakes, both on and off the field. However, since this is a football site, I will look solely at his football based qualities (or lack thereof) to explain how he is overrated.
