Something Great Just Happened At The Cleveland Brown's NFL Training Camp
(PRWEB) July 09, 2018 -- Arthur J Williams Jr. (or Artie for short) is not your everyday ordinary run of the mill reformed convict and Gregg Williams (no relation) is not your everyday ordinary football coach. Artie is a former master counterfeiter turned famous artist, a professional motivational speaker, a philanthropist, a great father and husband to his special loving wife Sarah, a giver, an inventor and a distinguished author and visionary thinker who skipped two grades before the age of 11. Coach Williams is a famed legendary NFL Super Bowl winning champion who is famous for turning lives and teams around through hard work, long hours and changing entire team's cultures with structure, discipline and accountability. By putting their creative minds together, it appears that they are changing the team and the players in more ways than one.
Let’s start at the beginning of this incredible journey that almost never took place. Artie was invited by successful businessman Rob Williams (also no relation) to a celebrity golf outing for charity earlier this month in St. Louis. Last minute, he had something urgent come up, where he was unable to attend the event. He was however, invited to Rob’s personal home afterwards. This is where it all began. Artie met the great Gregg Williams, current Defensive Coordinator for the Cleveland Browns, who is considered by many to be one of the brightest minds in the NFL today. The two connected immediately.
Coach Williams saw something in Artie. Maybe it was Artie’s ability to scan a room in a matter of seconds, probably a skill he acquired while leading his own gang at an early age in the project ridden Italian neighborhood of Bridgeport, South side Chicago. Maybe it was his rough childhood that also currently plagues some of coach’s players. Maybe it was his ability to evade the Secret Service and the Federal Reserve for 15 years when most counterfeiters get tried and convicted even before bringing their product to market. Maybe it was the fact that Artie, using over the counter tools and materials, produced what the Federal Reserve deemed the almost impossible to counterfeit bill in history, the big face 1996-hundred-dollar bill. And Artie produced millions of dollars’ worth of them over his illustrious 15-year career. Maybe it was the fact that Artie uses his security marker and special paint features in his actual paintings from his old counterfeiting days. Maybe it was the fact that Artie has a genius level IQ. Maybe it was the fact that Artie has been donating hundreds of thousands of dollars through his art to children’s charities across America. Maybe it was his intellectualism, life experience and fascinating conversation. Maybe it was the fact that Artie was looking at 105 months and he would not rat on his team and associates. Maybe it was all of the above, but I just think the Coach really liked Artie and wanted to help him in his journey of redemption along with some of his players. And along this journey something very special happened. To continue reading this fascinating story please click here:
