| The Todd Williams Story | |
| Florida State University senior offensive tackle Todd Williams is standing in the hot morning sun at Skyway Park, site of the Mike Alstott Football Camp, attracting children like a dog draws fleas.

He played on the 1980 team that beat #1 Alabama in Jackson, his hometown. He went on to a nine-year pro football career, including a stint with the Super Bowl Champion 1985 Chicago Bears.
