Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Rodney Williams said his high school years were the first time he faced real adversity.
The support he had while attending Germantown High School helped lay the foundation that allowed him to continue prospering after he graduated.
“From the basketball coaches to the football coaches to the track coaches, even teachers,” Williams said, “I always had somebody to talk to about whatever problem I was having. This school here, man, I want to say that it’s magical. It’s some good stuff that goes on here, and it’s a great school. It’s amazing.”
