Williams was the lucky winner of a new contest being held in the Steelers Experience, where kids can register to win a chance to carry a player's equipment up the hill at the end of practice.
Williams was paired with quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and the seven-year old from Beaver Falls, Pa. lugged the equipment up the hill, the smile ever present no matter how heavy it got for him at times.
"I am very excited," said Williams, holding on tightly to the shoulder pad and jersey.
Roethlisberger signed autographs for fans as he walked to the locker room and talked and joked with Williams along the way. He even took Williams mini-helmet and went over to Troy Polamalu and had him sign it for him.
At one point, Williams set the pads down for a moment and first-year quarterback Shane Boyd did what the newcomers do, picked up his teammates stuff to carry it for him. It was quickly given back to Williams, though, who knew he had a job to do and there was a reward at the end for it.
"Ben is going to give me something special when we get to the top," said Williams.
And that he did. As Roethlisberger was ready to head into the locker room he sat down, took off his shoe and signed it with a personal message to Williams.
"I am not going to wear it," said Williams, beaming ear-to-ear.
It will be quiet the story to share with his second-grade class this fall.
