There's a time to joke around and a time to get serious. Just ask Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams. The receiver has a very light-hearted personality, most of the time, but he gets real serious when he breaks the huddle around Tony Romo, Dez Bryant and Jason Witten.

“It’s kind of nerve racking going to the huddle and having Tony (Romo), Dez (Bryant) and (Jason) Witten,” Williams said, per The Dallas Morning News. “I’ve been around them for three years now. … When you watch them from their demeanor, it’s kind of one of those things there’s a time when you can have a great time and there’s a time when there’s people that’s counting on you and there’s a reason why you’re out there. So whenever I’m around them, I’m serious because I’m so focused on getting the job done.”

Williams needs to keep his focus throughout the regular season. Williams may have found the end zone eight times last season, but aside from those big plays, he was nonexistent on the majority of his snaps in route. He hauled in less than 60 percent of his passes on the season. Second year wide receiver Devin Street put together an excellent set of spring practices, and he could challenge Williams for a starting role on the outside, at some point during the 2015 season.
