While some have said that Williams’ marijuana use kept him from a more productive football career, Williams is arguing that it was the opposite, and that the pot, in fact, was a real performance-enhancer for him rather than just an enjoyable pastime.
“I don’t agree that it was an Achilles heel,” he said, according to USA Today. “I kind of think it was more like spinach for Popeye.”
Come to think of it, Popeye did have both the bulging muscles and the smoking pipe to go along. Williams may be onto something.
