Darrent Williams killed

From the article on ESPN.com:

Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting early Monday, his limousine sprayed with bullets in downtown Denver.

Another man and woman were also shot and injured.

I had made some cracks at Williams' expense in recent weeks. Lining up across from Champ Bailey is a pretty thankless task. Honestly, though, Williams' four picks and place among our leading tacklers show he was actually a heck of a player. That might seem irrelevant today, but I think being almost world-class at your profession is something worth remembering. My heart goes out to his family and friends and the Broncos organization.
