Darrent Williams Appreciation thread!

[MissinMcCaffery]

In case no one has heard, Darrent Williams was shot and killed in a limo..no new details yet.

[Morambar]

If it's true... I don't know what to say. Thoughts and prayers are with his family and the team. Horrible.

[broncophan]

What??????......just searched the net.......can't find any story.........obviously......hope this is false.......

[y2cragie]

this is true.
Its been reported on 850koa.com
This is horrible news.

[Jaws]

Poor poor guy. This is so sad and puts everything in perspective.

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/sports/10644645/detail.html

[MissinMcCaffery]

This isn't false. I'm watching channel news4 in Denver. It was on 7th and Speers in downtown Denver. It is reported as a drive by shooting.

[heydensmom]

OMFG is all I can say

http://www.denverpost.com/ci_4931937

[broncophan]

RIP Darrent..........................

Terrible news.......may God be with his family and teammates................

[Emancipator]

Oh my goodness.

This is horrible news for this young man's family and his teammates and coaches.
I wish this wasn't true.

Please I ask that everyone be respectful if this is true and no smart remarks about his play. This is life/death and no time to play around.

My prayers go out to Darrent Williams family, love ones, and friends.

[His Wife]

I saw your post, Jaws. Thank you for getting the news out.
This is horrendous news. This has the 'feeling' of being more
than a random shooting too, just my thoughts on that. I am
so sorry for his family and his team. Quite shocking news really.

[BroncoKazuki]

When it rains it Pours. I'll be keeping his family in my prayers.

As fans its something that wounds us all. Even though we were hard on him this year but having him die before he has a chance to make an impact and come back next year this is by far the worse thing that could have happen.


Willams you were a good player could have been a great one. Hope your up there playing in the Big game in the sky.

[AvsLiles26]

This is an awful shock and suddenly makes missing the playoffs pointless. Who cares about that at a time like this? Hopefully we as Broncos fans can pull together and get through what is a shocking tragedy.

My prayers go out to the Denver Broncos players and staff and to the family of Darrent Williams.

[Jamal]

I'm on the verge of tears right about now......

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

OMG!!!!!!!!!

thats HORRIBLE!!
holy cow!
ive never felt this bad b4!
wow this is awfuL!

i was PRAYING it was a sick joke and wanting u banned :(
damn this sucks!

i just turned to Channel 4!

I LOVED DARRENT!

im sorry for saying anything bad about you!

horrible!!

[sneakers]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

I have no words right now besides that right now...God, that really sucks!

[BroncoKazuki]

next year isnt a can we get into a superbowl.


ITS A MUST TO GET INTO THE SUPERBOWL. THE TEAM...THE FANS HAVE TO PUT EVERYTHING NEXT YEAR TO WIN A SUPERBOWL (Devner has to play with Conviction and we as Fans have to keep the faith).. NOT FOR SHANNAHAN... NOT FOR ANYONE ELSE WE GOTTA DO IT FOR WILLAMS...IT WOULD BE THE GREATEST THING TO HONOR HIM NEXT YEAR.

[lord_helmet]

Horrible news, I'm speechless....

[Morambar]

It would be a wonderful memorial for him, but I don't know if I could enjoy that win. I'm numb. He had so much promise, was so young and now he's gone. Stupid, pointless empty murder. Sometimes I feel like the world gets a little uglier and meaner every day. I can't think about football now, just a young man not even 25 years old dead for no reason.

RIP :salute:

I agree!
i dont even Care about the loss anymore!
WOW this is a Horrible day for me!

this Totally Sucks!

[TonyGFortheTD]

Incredibly sad and at such a young age, also. :( My condolences to his family and the Broncos organization and fans.

Not a Broncos fan at all, but a Mile High Salute is still in order. :salute:

[sneakers]

I agree!

this Totally Sucks!

Kind of makes all the bickering about who played well, who should be fired, etc. silly now.

[broncophan]

It sure does................

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

Kind of makes all the bickering about who played well, who should be fired, etc. silly now.

I know!
this affects me more than when Lidle Died(and im a Yankee fan)
prolly cuz ive talked to Darrent and met him Several times!

i feel bad for saying he sucked and all!
Damn i feel bad for all the stuff i said about him!

this is SO tragic!
i dont know what to do :(

[Lorcust]

I'm mad, frustrated, depressed in angry in words I can't even begin to describe.

I'm completely at a loss for words.

What the ****? Is all I can say.... This is pure bull****, I'm literally on the edge of tears.

**** **** ****. This just isn't fair to Darrent Williams. A young man, not only as a football player, but with a future. Young and ****ing killed. Pop. Dead.

This.... agh. :brick:

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

This is as close to a family Death as i have Ever happened!

[AvsLiles26]

Nothing like a pointless murder to make things like how the Broncos played seem incredibly trivial eh? I was about to go to sleep when I heard this story and now I can't sleep. I'm honestly still quite shocked and on the verge of tears the more I think about it. He was only 3 years older than me and his life has been ended. What a shame. 2007 is off to a horrible start.

Sometimes as fans we say stuff "in the heat of the moment"......I am sure you did not mean anything personal, by any remarks that you made............sad day for all bronco fans......as we have lost 'one of our own"..........

[billymischke_33]

Darrent Williams shot and killed on January 1st 2007, at about 1 A.M.

He was with a female companion and was leaving a night club, he had a confrontation with someone and got shot inside of the limo, the female was also shot but havent heard anything on her.

RIP Darrent Williams, my condolences to his family and friends.

[Lorcust]

Happy New Year indeed.

Why? Why? Why?

I'm completely distraught, just utterly amazed. :brick:

[EaglesFan43]

I am truly sorry to hear about Darrent Williams he was a good DB.

This.... agh. :brick:

Yeah... I feel the same way, but, it's going to be a crappy day at work. (I'm actally a radio sports anchor, I'm going to be reading the story every half hour... it's not going to be how I wanted to spend my New Years Day).

[ChrisKamanowns]

oh my god when did this happen?

this shows how sick the world can be! oh my god

wow............i'm in shock

[BroncoKazuki]

If all we can do as fans of the Bronco Nation. Is just give him the Mile High salute.

Shot down even before he can take off.

Was I hard on him yes. He started getting better and I was like he finally came back to form... To have this land on us right when we didnt need to is just horrible...just horrible...

Next year its going to be empty... I was looking forward to buying a ticket for fan day to see my Broncos. I might just do that to pay my respects to D.willams.

Here's to You Willams. :salute: I'll be wearing my #27 jersy next year instead of #6.

a sensless murder over something stupid. Just shows you how some people can be stupid when it comes to alchol.

[y2cragie]

the only good that can come from this, is that his companion is able to recover from any injuries.
This was a senseless act and truely shows how little the game of football can mean in a wider sense of the world.

[JayhawkBronco]

Unbelievable. RIP Darrent. :salute:

exactly, football means nothing compaired to death, this is horrable. i knew someone died, i was watching mike and mike in the morning and it showed the big guy on the who, a picture of him and it was a slow piano music and i though he died.. the announcer kept saying horrable news today.. and then darrent williams popped up, im still totally shocked.

[LRod]

Heard this on the way from work this morning! What a sad day in Broncos Country!
According to channel 2 News....Williams and two other passengers were shot while in a white Hummer SUV after leaving a party! :sad:

Via Con Dios Darrent......you will be missed!

[broncophan]

I had taken my bronco flag that I hang up outside down.....since game day was over......but I will put it back out, as a sign of respect to Darrent.........

[lord_helmet]

Makes me stop a moment to again think about the insanity of American gun laws, its way too easy to get hold of a firearm.

He would have been a great Bronco.

I wish all athletes would just stay away from these night clubs. They are dangerous and full of people that are jealous at what you have.

[BroncoInMich]

RIP Darrent, my prayers are with your family and friends.

[JakeToRod16to80]

Wow, losing a football game doesn't seem too important now.

[leoj_cos]

This is terrible. The lose means nothing after hearing this. I feel sick for his family and friends.

[CB123]

I'm at a loss for words... I just can't believe it. Brings back some bad personal memories of mine from new years a few years ago... just horrible and senseless! :sad:

R.I.P. D.Will, sorry for any negative thing I've ever said... josh, I just pray for his family to get through this tragedy.

[dougiew]

The news of the death of Darrent Williams is indeed a big tragedy. As fans of football our thoughts are with his family at this time. Darrent had really began this season to show the potential for which he was drafted for and we were all looking forward to seeing his development in the coming years. It is sad that we will not see that now.
His death has been reported as a drive by shooting and for someone living in a society where guns are not the norm it just shows to me once again the futility of allowing guns to get into the hands of people who will just use them for violence.
We do not know all the details of what exactly happened but it pains me as a fan of the Broncos to hear about this sad loss of life at such a tender age.

Darrent, you will be missed. Our prayers are for your family who need to be supported as the grim reality of death has cast its shadow over them. We should pray also for the Broncos organisation as they have lost an employee and for the team who have lost a fellow teammate. May each of them somehow find peace in the midst of this terrible tragedy.

[bry422]

I will miss you. Thank you for giving everything you had on every play. God Bless.

[gindaorshaman]

This is some terrible news. R.I.P. Darrent. Truely a sad day.

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

Lets share our Favorite Memories of Darrent or some Cool Pictures of Darrent or anything about him since his Horrible Murder today!
this is so sad!

but my favorite Darrent WIlliams moments is basically his Character!
that MNF game against the Ravens was So cool!
this is just Absolutly Rediculous!

ive never felt this sad over a death in history of my life!
ive never lost a family member but this was about as close as it came!
WOW!

RIP DARRENT!
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU!

[Jamal]

I just feel so horrible right now.My hearts beating so fast.My heads spinning.I keep thinking to all the negativity this guy went through.All the fans who gave him a hard time....ITS ****EN TERRIBLE.It's liked ive lost a member of my family.

I can only imagine how the teams coping with this.They propably waking up about now and see this.

[Lorcust]

Rest in Peace Darrent.

This isn't ****ing fair and you didn't ****ing deserve this ****.

You gave your all on every play. Every mother ****ing play!

You have been amazing for us and you especially do not deserve to die at such a young age. You had so much ahead of you and a ****ing bullet puts it all to waste.

We'll always remember you Darrent. Godspeed. :salute:

[FanLampCombo]

Just found out. That sucks so much. R.I.P Darrent.

i was looking for a crazy picture of his hair, but couldnt find it.. weel miss you Darrent!

[gindaorshaman]

Any idea of Shannahan has commented on this or if he is going to hold a press conference?

[#1_IN_broncofan]

I am absolutely shocked and totally confused. I just heard that Darrent Williams was shot and killed as he left a club in Denver last night! Why would anyone do such a thing? I just don't understand. I really don't know what to say.

To Darrent Williams' family & the members of the Denver Broncos organization: My prayers are with you. I am so very sorry for your loss. You have my most heartfelt condolences. It is never easy to lose a loved one and I can't imagine how much worse it would be under these circumstances. Again, I am sincerely sorry!

Terri P. (Denver's #1 Fan in Indiana)

[DancingHorsey]

Many of us were hard on the way he played at times, but that doesn't really matter when faced with such a terrible (and senseless) event. How very sad. My condolences to his family.

[Morambar]

I'm still trying to find out what happened, and in the course of doing that I found out he did something in college I've only seen once in my life: ran a blocked extra point back for a TD. For all the finger pointing and what not earlier, if he doesn't get that Int against Cincy last week our season was over right there. After last year I was just waiting for us to have an incredible, terrifying secondary as he just got better and better the longer he was around Champ. And, yes, he always gave it his all, left it all out on the field, win or lose. He will be missed sorely. Not even 25, dead for no reason. I take what solace and comfort I can in the belief where he is now weapons are neither allowed nor needed. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with his family and team. Thanks for the memories, D-Will, and so sorry we couldn't have more together. :salute:

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

Heres a picture i took of him at the Hotel in Kansas City:

Wow..

I was just about to go to bed when i saw it on the news. Its such a shock.

I always enjoyed seeing him and Champ having fun bringing INT's back for TD's and breaking up passes. Im going to miss seeing that next season.

RIP mate. :salute:

wow im shocked, idk why someone would do this. R.I.P Dwill

[redrage]

Maybe it just happened to be random, whom knows, if not thatis is pretty freaking sick........This is just terrible

[Jaws]

The 80 yard interception return against the Raiders last season has to rate as one of his most memorable moments, the longest INT return my a rookie in team history.

He took some stick this season, but in his rookie season his feisty attitude and enthusiasm for the game really impressed me.

He might have been small in stature but he played like he was six foot tall and with the heart of a lion.

:salute:

[FanLampCombo]

I would be lying if I said I've never been upset with Darrents play. Heck, all of us have at some point. But we tend to forget that he had one of the hardest assignments in the league, in playing opposite of Champ Baily. He took on this assignment head on without flinching or showing fear. He did come off as cocky at times, but that was who he was. He showed a lot of confidence and poise in facing one of the most daunting tasks for a corner, knowing the ball was going to come his way almost every passing down.

He was a true warrior.

Rest in Peace D-Will, you will be missed. :salute:

[jonnym]

It seems so strange that then niners came out there and paid tribute to a guy that we lost the last time we played each other, and now this.

Puts a game of football into perspective very quickly.

Condolences to the Bronco organisation and Darrent's family and friends on a very sad day.

[Jaws]

My thoughts and prayers go out to his mum Rosalind Williams. She can be very proud of her son's achievements. :salute:

[Mtdonkeyfan]

R.I.P. young man may your family find solice some way. My heart breaks for them and it really puts football back in prospective.

[Gyro]

OMG, here I am thinking this is another thread about us getting knocked out of the playoffs, but this is just horrible. :ugh:

[Morambar]

Just awful. I'm so, so sorry for your loss and ours. There are no guns where he is now, and it's always Super Bowl Sunday. RIP, D-Will. :salute:

[coco]

Im so sad, thats all I can say.

Rest in Peace Darrent.

Adios

[stickyicky420]

wow i dont know what to say ive been crying for the last ten minutes its a terrible loss he was only 24 the same age as me rip darrent the bronco family will always hold you in there hearts

[stickyicky420]

wow its been 15mins since i heard and i still have tears in my eyes why did this have to happen i feel like ive lost some1 very close to me rip darrent we all love you

[starr1true@yahoo.com]

I am so sad that I woke up to a New year and heart ache. When I saw the report, I could not believe it, not my boy, not my Darrent! I kept waiting for them to say the typical shooting involving not he was a victim of a drive by report. I still am so upset. I feel like I lost a member of my family or a dear friend. I guess as a bronco fan, he was a member of my family and a much loved one. I am still in disbelief and shock. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of D Will and the people and players who knew and loved him.
GOD BLESS YOU DARRENT WILLIAMS!!!! Rest In Peace!!!!
I will always love and remember you!!!!

[speardog]

there are threads for this.

[broncofaninwa]

I just heard too, he was four years younger than me. Before I heard this I was stressing out over my team losing a football game, talk about perspective. Rest in peace Darrent.

[Lexi]

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family as well as the Broncos organization.

[BroncoBJ4MVP!!!]

OMG, here I am thinking this is another thread about us getting knocked out of the playoffs, but this is just horrible. :ugh:

That is EXACTLY what i thought!

i figured i would Click on it to see what ppl are whining about this time and i couldnt believe it!

RIP DARRENT

[Jaws]

Im Sorry Emotions Got The Best Of Me

Understandable. We're all very upset considering everything that's happened within this last day. :(

[Hardcore Bronco Babe]

I've been crying for over an hour now. This is so senseless he was so young. He was such a bright and talented person and player. That smile he had could just light up a room. I'm just sick over this whole thing. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.

[PatsCrowEater]

This tragic loss certainly puts things in perspective for fans of all NFL teams.

Deepest sympathies to Darrent's family, the Denver Broncos and their fans.

[Lorcust]

It doesn't matter who started, one of you just end it.

Who cares if he's an attention *****? (even though he's not)

Nobody is looking at who starts these threads, everyone is looking at the headlines and sending their condolences.

Thinking this is about "attention" is a completely petty thing, and either way, both of you need to calm down.

[Jaws]

wow calm down man you think it's right to come onto these boards on a day like this and start telling ppl to go to hell and suckin their dad's **** wow dude seriously both of u should show a little maturity andf the mods need to delete this thread\\

I agree, but he has apologised.

It may not be a bad idea if everyone who's made heated emotional comments in this thread just hit the delete button on those individual posts.

[TheMastermind]

Unlike alot of people on these boards.....I thought Darrent Williams was an INCREDIBLE player.....

just looked bad because of no pressure from the d-line.....

that punt return he had against SD (the one called back) was special.....

his PICKS FOR SIX.....were always amazing.....

and most importantly.....he had guts to play next to the best corner in the league (maybe NFL history).....he kept his job.....made tackles....played well.....

RIP Darrent....

[CHARLIEADAMSFAN]

how do u guys feel about ripping darrent now?

I didnt even really do it all that much and i feel horrible

Is there anyway we can get Darrent Williams jerseys to honor him?

[snailplow]

I am at a loss for words so I would like to send my condolences to the Williams family.

[bd18packer]

Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was a promising, personable, caring football player. He was loved by his family, Broncos fans and his Denver teammates, and should have enjoyed a long life, and well deserved praise in his football career. He was cut down in the prime of his life in a senseless shooting, in which he was an innocent victim. All of us here in the Denver area are shocked and dismayed that such a wonderful person should be taken from us so soon. I am at a loss for words to describe my grief, as I am sure many others are. My condolences to his family, friends, the Denver Broncos organization & Broncos fans everywhere. God Bless You, Darrent, and keep you close. We will miss you.

[TheSyxxSynse]

My condolences to the Williams family and friends and to the Denver Broncos organization.

[B&O Fan]

I have been a Denver Broncos fan for some 20 years now. This is the most shocking and tragic news I can remember. May God be with the Williams family, the Denver Broncos organization, players and fans. This is truly a tragic event. Let us all rejoice though when remembering what Darrent Willliams brought to the Denver Broncos team, his actions on the field, the potential we all saw in him and his never quit attitude!!!

Tragic and Senseless..

[BroncosFanDC]

I'm a lifelong Broncos fan (ever since my father was stationed at NORAD in the early 1970s when I was a kid). I now live in Washington, DC, but still live and die by the Broncos.

Watching the games remotely is tough, when everyone here is Redskins crazy. I got to see most of that game yesterday and found myself not so upset--mostly because I knew that the Broncos really weren't strong enough this year to do anything in the playoffs even if they made it. But, it still left me with that kind of sick, empty feeling you get when this happens.

NOTHING, though, anywhere near what I felt this morning when I logged on CNN.com (my default home page) and saw a link that said "Broncos Player Killed in Drive-By Shooting." I sat there for several minutes, afraid to open it, with the possibilities running through my head. I rationalized that if it was a "big" player, the headline would have included a name.

When I finally opened it, it hit me like a ton of bricks. The death of ANY Bronco--no, any PERSON--would be tough. But, there was something about reading that it was Darrent Williams, a young guy just making his way in not only the NFL, but life itself, that was devastating.

I don't have anyone here to grieve with me. Not that they aren't sympathetic, but they are Redskins fans and will forget about it a minute later.

And, I was struck by the need to find whatever official message boards there were for the Broncos, and register, and post how sorry I am. Especially for those of you lucky enough to live in Broncos country and read about them every day in your local paper, and know about these players more intimately than I can living so far away.

As bad as I feel right now, I know it is much worse for you. My thoughts go out to you as well as to Darrent's friends, family, and teammates. This is indeed a sad, sad day and gave me a reality check. Tough loss to the 49ers, but in the big scheme of things, it is this death that is infinitely more tragic.

I have a dozen Broncos jerseys; today, I will get online and buy a new one. #27. Wiliams.

RIP.

Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams was a promising, personable, caring football player. He was loved by his family, Broncos fans and his Denver teammates, and should have enjoyed a long life, and well deserved praise in his football career. He was cut down in the prime of his life in a senseless shooting, in which he was an innocent victim. All of us here in the Denver area are shocked and dismayed that such a wonderful person should be taken from us so soon. I am at a loss for words to describe my grief, as I am sure many others are. My condolences to his family, friends, the Denver Broncos organization & Broncos fans everywhere. God Bless You, Darrent, and keep you close. We will miss you.

I just heard. my god thats awful. from all KC chiefs fans we extend our condolences to his family.

[ChargerTom]

I just read the tragic news about Darrent Williams, and wanted to come over and express my condolences to the Broncos organization, his family, and the Broncos fans.

We're division rivals, but when things like this happen, it's time to drop the rivalry and lend support to one another.

I'm a moderator on the Chargers message boards, and we've had some really great Broncos fans on our boards this year. The rivalry was heated, but we had some good Broncos fans show up and support your team. We appreciate that.

Stay strong, Broncos fans. I hope that the perpetrator is rapidly brought to justice.

We'll keep a good thought for your team, Darrent's friends and family, and his fans.

Darrent seemed like a great guy, and was an excellent player. We'll miss seeing him in your line-up.

Respectfully,

ChargerTom

Being an overseas fan (Wales, U.K) I can empathise with your post.

Great post, I just wish your first post here would have been made in happier circumstances.

Hey guys I just heard about your CB Williams and would like to send my love from Pittsburgh. I'm not a Denver fan but without a doubt it is such a horrible thing that has happened. Football aside, from a Steelers fan I'm truly praying for his team mates, his family, and the fans. I hope the police can find out who did this so that there will be closure for all of you. God Bless.

FURRY AND ANGER AND SADNESS!

How can people be so cruel!!!!!!!!!

I have never had a family death, but as a Bronco fan this is my second family. I feel this. And it isn't a very good feeling. I'd cry but my parents are home and they'd think it was stupid. My brother would too.

I can't believe this! He was such a good player. He will be missed.

[broncobred]

After taking a huge loss I said to myself Im not watching any football highlights until next week. I got up and turned the tv on and was totally devastated. Our guy D-Will taken from this earth by some low life. I send my prayers to his family and friends.

He's gone but never forgotten in my heart.

:salute: to you #27 till I see you again.

[GinaGirl]

I've noticed that some people are apologizing for all the bad things they've ever said about Darrent- No need to apologize for those things- It shows that in the grand scheme of things we all value human life.
It's easy to forget that these athletes are ordinary people with families who really love them, until something tragic happens.
I hope the family finds comfort in the fact that people do care and that it's not just because he was a professional athlete but because he was a man who died so young and in such a senseless way.

Darrent Williams- Forever Young.................

Great thread :salute:

[lbmore33]

sad day indeed, this just shows how meaningless a football game can really be. D.W. definetly gave it his all on the field no matter what. IT'S JUST A SAD SAD DAY ALL THE WAY AROUND...R.I.P. DARRENT

[Juggernaught]

Rest In Peace Darrent Williams. May The Lord ease the pain that your family is going through.

[champbronc2]

I mean I just turned on the TV for ESPN.

Bottom right corner. "Breaking news: Darrent Williams Denver Broncos CB shot and killed"

My heart skipped a beat.

This is to show us there is more to life than football. Things could be worse. It will be hard watching games without him in there.

[Nomad Broncofan]

This is very sad news! My sympathy for the Williams family.

[champbronc2]

His performance should have NOTHING to do with his death. Completely ignore that.

[tnbroncosfans]

TN fan stopping by to send condolences to the team, Darrent's family and fans.

It is just horrible.

It is reminiscent of when Jay lost team mate from Vanderbilt in a senseless shooting in 2004.

Tragedy like this really sucks. It affects so many left behind on so many levels.

Thinking and praying for his family...

I just cannot even think. I seriously got out of bed 10 minutes ago, figured I'd smoke that first cigarette of the day while I checked out the boards. Needless to say I almost choked on the smoke when I saw this. All I have to ask is why? Why the hell do human beings do this to each other? I am dumbfounded. I moved my family away from Denver because of crap like this. Now, at the dawn of the new year, a young man's life is ended and probably over something stupid and senseless. RIP Darrent. Jesus......

[Jamal]

I find it so terribly sad and weird that a player died after a Bronco/49er match last season in Thomas Herrion.And now Darrent Williams....I Can't believe this.I saw on the news report that Al Wilson,Domonique Foxworth,Keith Burns,Champ Bailey and a few others are at the hospital right now....god damnit i got tears in my eyes again.

As a Charger fan, I truly appreciate the rivalry between our two teams. Chargers/Broncos are some of the best games to watch all year.

This is a terrible tragedy, and the thoughts and prayers of the Chargers fans are with you guys right now.

I'm hoping that the scumbags who did this are brought to justice quickly, and that they face the harshest punishment allowed by law.

We'll miss seeing Darrent in your line-up.

[Breezer]

What is the purpose of such a terrible act. I read that the woman with Williams was also shot. Hopefully she made it through and will be ok. My thoughts are with both families. Hopefully the coward or cowards that did this will be caught and punished. Hopefully this was not some disgruntled fan. After all, football is only a game.

Thank you for coming to this board and expressing your condolences. It means a lot to Broncos fans to know that fans of opposing teams are sharing our loss.

[jimmyray34]

1st time on this board... I just wanted to share my memories of D-Will as this is really affecting me this morning... more than I thought it would. Think about this... what other player in the NFL that was so freakin short played as big as Darrent did? He had an incredible ROY-type coming out last year and yeah, he got burned a few times this year but I can still hear him saying so clear "WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE JUST LIKE CHAMP."

He had such a bright future.

He always played like a kid - gave his all on EVERY PLAY and was so quick to laugh and smile. Even when he was sitting a little in favor of Foxworth he was so strong in his praise of his best bud.

We'll miss you Darrent Williams.

[champbronc2]

I feel horrible. :salute:

Forget the SF loss, that was nothing to the loss of a human being. God bless you, Darrent.

My heart goes out to his family and the Broncos

[Go_Bolts06]

My sincerest condolences to the family of Darrent Williams, the Broncos Organization, and thier fans.
Chargers fan here, but right now that does not matter. The life of a promising young man, cut short in this manner, transcends any game or rivalry. Too bad it all too often takes something like this for us to realize there are far more important things than a game.

[spikerman]

I just woke up to the news. I haven't been a huge Darrent Williams fan, but this is so much bigger than football. It's a terrible tragedy and I'm still in shock. The ironic thing for me personally is that I have posted some unflattering things about Darrent, but I was going to post on here about what a great play he made during the game yesterday. I was going to say that was the type of play I had been waiting for. I was going to post about how I was impressed by that terrific punt return yesterday. I should have posted it last night - now it is an empty gesture.

Rest in peace Darrent, and God bless.

[Denver Native]

Rest in Peace Darrent. May God give your family, your friends and the Bronco players and organization strength and courage.

[DevilSpawn]

My sincere condolences to the Williams family, to Williams' fans and to Bronco fans.

[Frick49ers]

He indeed will be missed.

[GeneralSterlingPrice]

I suppose as the days go by we will find out more and more details about this cowardly act. Too many people these days pick up a gun instead of solving your problems like a man. There was a time when people solved their differences with their fists when they got into a fight, and when it was over you shook hands and went on your way, but now it's just solved with a gun. The person who did this is the worst kind of coward. hides behind something and sneaks up behind to ruin a life. Whoever it was, they know what they did and will be caught and hopefully severely punished.

[Zanataki]

He was the same age I was. He played with fire and passion and now its gone.

I do think he was going to be something special though.

I saw that in him.

He would have been a great Bronco.

I wish all athletes would just stay away from these night clubs. They are dangerous and full of people that are jealous at what you have.

Truer words have never been spoken. As soon as these atheletes go out to a club and people know who they are, the trouble starts! Let's just hope the confrontation had nothing to do with the game. Hopefully, all these atheletes will realize they should go elsewhere to party, like someone's house, instead of these damn clubs! I hope they find that SOB and give him the same sentence he gave Darrent! :fight:

Finally, my thoughts and prayers go out to Darrent's family and friends, and I hope his female companion heals quickly. GODSPEED TO DARRENT AND HIS LOVED ONES.

Well, It is time to go to bed....hopefully when I wake up this will have all undone itself. :sad:

[Glitter]

I just got home from work here in Souix City, Iowa, and saw the news. I mean, what a senseless tragedy. Yesterday afternoon before I went to work I was sitting in front of the TV while my daughter yelled "Go Darrent, GO!" as he returned a punt, and now he is gone. How do you explain the senseless of this to your children??

My condolences go out to his family, friends, and the entire Broncos Orginization. Godspeed and farewell Darrent. You will be missed, but never forgotten.

[BroncoStampede]

The things I most remember about Darrent was his great attitude and personality. He gave everything he had to the Denver Broncos and Broncos fans, and because of this he took alot of heat from some disgraceful "fans" because he gave up some receptions.

Darrent took the high road and used that opportunity to praise Champ Bailey's skills as the reason why teams threw his way so often, and he mentioned that he learned alot from Champ and enjoyed playing with him.

Darrent was a talented football player who just completed only his second year in the NFL and he had a promising year and a promising future with 4 INTs and he made many tackles this year and helped out on special teams.

His future on earth was taken from him last night but now we should have comfort in knowing that it was his time to leave his physical body on earth, and he is serving with God in heaven, now and for eternity.

[leoj_cos]

Really puts the game in perspective.

[ChargerTom]

Stay strong, Bronco fans! Things like this bring a team, and its fans, closer together. Remember Darrent for the great player that he was, and be glad that you got to watch him ply his craft, even if just for a brief moment.

Condolences from a Chargers fan.

[COskinsfan]

No matter what team you want to win a tragedy like this is just terrible. Being a browns fan for years and have some very bad memories of the broncos I never want you to win, I would never wish this upon anyone. I want to wish all of you my sympathy for this loss.

May Darrent's soul rest in Heaven.....

....and be that 'Angel' in Denver's backfield next year in their quest for a trophy in his remembrance.


God, Bless his family.

Makes me glad that they lost yesterday. I don't see how they could have played a game after such a terrible tragedy. RIP Darrent!

[champ24girl]

I'm crying right now. I don't thikn I've ever been this sad about a Bronco, he was only 24 and he has kids too. I can't tell you how sad I am right now. He was so full of life and fire.

[leoj_cos]

Yesterday's game: Darrent Williams 2 punt returns for 50 yards, one for 34 yards. Pretty darn good 25 yard average.

[ErnieNovember]

Unlike alot of people on these boards.....I thought Darrent Williams was an INCREDIBLE player.....

just looked bad because of no pressure from the d-line.....

that punt return he had against SD (the one called back) was special.....

his PICKS FOR SIX.....were always amazing.....

and most importantly.....he had guts to play next to the best corner in the league (maybe NFL history).....he kept his job.....made tackles....played well.....

RIP Darrent....

I always use to say, it had to be hard for Darrent to play opposite Champ Bailey, because you were going to get a lot of throws your way, so I never ever use to get down on him, I wish a lot more people would have understood that.

[DjWilliams55]

Oh noo...I woke up today and logged straight into the boards and this is the first thing i see...i'm shocked! My prayers go out to his family and loved ones! I'm truly shocked, he was a great young corner and a great guy!

[Elway]

I do not know the full story, and I am not going to speculate.

It is always tragic when a young man so full of potential is killed.

It is a heinous act.

Darrent played with his heart and soul and gave his all on the field.

He will be missed, deepest sympathies to his family, friends and loved ones. : :salute:

His performance has nothing to do with his death. People can say all the things they want about the way he played and still be upset that he passed on. I can't stand gutless mother****ers who don't have the pills to do things like a man...instead they have to drive by with their "Tek 9" or "Mack 10" and do things like a *****. :fight:

[ShadeofBlue]

A shock for sure when I woke up.

He'll be missed greatly -- just a fun person, and from everything I've seen, an individual interested in the community and kids.

To any friends or family of his, deepest condolances. I hope that you find personal healing in this time of pain, and remember most all the good things and fun times.

Once again, he'll be missed by us all.

I am just so saddened by this LOSS!!! I don't know how to express my feelings about this situation!!! This is a great loss to the Bronco family as well as the Williams family.

This really makes me sick that some people can do this to people the world today is hard enough without shootings and murder. God bless Darrent Williams and his family. And to whoever did this the broncos community and fans hope you get what you deserve for taking someones life away from them.

[JakeGirl]

DWill was so full of life and fun and energy-- I cannot believe this has happened.

I feel for his famliy and all his friends on the Broncos, especially Fergie, Champ and Foxy. I am so sad for all of his fans in Bronco Country....He didn't deserve to die like this. He deserved to live a long happy life and tell his grandkids football stories.

This is a tragedy.

[MEGATRON45]

When i heard the news I cried like it was a member of my family. God rest his soul and bless him and his family. Next Season is for Darrent!!! He was only on the team a short while but his impact was felt immediately. He was a warrior and considering they threw the ball at him every single time he did a great job!!! My favorite quote from Darrent was after he intercepted a pass against I think Seatle he said "Yeah Keep on Picking on me" That was classic !!!We will miss you Darrent Williams our future pro bowl cornerback.

[AntiSteeler]

This is terrible, I will miss Darrent Williams. Great player, my condolences go to his family, friends, and you guys, this is horrible, I can only hope the scum who did it are caught, and brought to justice. There is nothing to really fix it though. Justice can be the most positive thing to occur right now.

I agree totally. Nightclubs full of negative energies anyway. People don't give a dayum they'll shoot you over a little thing as a simple argument.

Tht video of his rookie season on U Tube...man, what an sudden impact he was on the franchise. I couldn't wait to see him in a couple years, opposite Champ. In two years D Will became one of my favorite NFL players, and, I have to admit, it hurt pretty bad finding out what happened. It still hurts. A guy I never even met, but, being such a big Broncos fan, words just can't explain...

[Day1BroncoFan]

I woke to this news about Darrent. I'm speechless.
I will pray for his family, friends and the rest of the Broncos. :salute:

[BroncosFanDC]

Do we KNOW that Javon Walker is okay? I know reports say that three people were shot and taken to the hospital, and that Walker was in the limo. Has anyone heard anything?

[Conde]

I got woken up with this horrible news and I was just speechless. Feeling horrible right now. But I thank God we was able to know and watch Darrent Williams. We love you Darrent and we will never forget you. We'll miss you. God Bless You & Your Family! #27 All In Our Hearts!

Rest In Peace Darrent Williams! :salute:

[Hardcore Bronco Babe]

I'm still in shock. I just want to go to sleep and wake up and this all was a bad dream. Unfortunately, this is all too real. I really hope they catch the one that did this and he should get the death penalty. Why? Why? Why? I've been crying off and on for the last three hours after crying non stop the first hour after I found out. I'm absolutely devastated by this news. This is a terrible day for Darrent's family, friends, teammates, the entire Broncos organization and Bronco fans everywhere. Never forget Darrent Williams.

From what I have heard the reports are that the other man that was shot is NOT a Bronco. There was also a woman that was shot. I haven't heard anymore than that so far but details are still coming out. I'll keep checking for details.

RIP darrent, just sad. :sad:

[Lureman]

A complete shocker.

I almost hope this proves to be a random act. Not provoked by the loss to the 49ers. I would hate to think that a Broncos fan would get so deranged and insane as to do this over a game.

God rest the soul of Darrent Williams.

[TheWookieeBronco]

Speechless, absolutely speechless. I can't believe it, i was watching him on TV yesterday and today he is gone. We will always miss you D-will, you were critized but i think we all knew one day you would become a great player. RIP Darrent Williams.

I hope Javon Walker is ok aswell.

[drummerguy247]

yeah i just can't even believe that this could happen..its messed up..RIP #27.. :sad:

[Spice 1]

I was in such a state of disbeleif when my friend told me, that I wrote him off. I didn't have media access for like an hour after, and went to eat thinking it wasn't real. I finally got on Fox News and it was right there. There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said. My heart goes out to his family and friends. I hope they understand that Darrent Williams will live on forever in our hearts, minds, and Mile High.

[WWEManiac]

I am not a Denver fan. But I will show respect and honor Mr. Williams. But what happened on Sunday is sad. It is hard to believe that happened. I know who Darrent Williams is. He is a good player. It is sad that he was killed. My condulcances are with the family and the fans of this Denver Bronco. Just say a prayer for the family and everyone have a safe and happy new year!

[Broncos9798]

*** is wrong with this world!!!! I finally had the nerve to get on the CBS4 Denver website looking for answers to a crappy game and what do I find, our starting corner is shot and killed. My prayers go out to the Williams family. I hope the police catch those s.o.b.'s and put a bullet in their heads. :fight: Thanks Darrent for the memories. May you rest in peace.

[TheFuture6]

Unbelievable. Im absolutely speechless right now. The kid was so full of energy and so full of life. Im shocked... RIP Darrent Williams

[Marshall#15]

RIP Darrent Williams. I'm listening to them talk about it on the Mike and Mike podcast. When Mike Evans was talking about Darrent's son my heartsank. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Darrent.

[Cire72]

R.I.P. D-Will
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family,friends and teammates.

[TheWookieeBronco]

He picked off a Trent Green pass on the thanksgiving day game against KC and he then said to the camera "Keep picking on me" and i was like "You tell em D-Will"

[pnbronco]

This is so shocking and sad. My deepest condolences go out to his family, team mates and friends. He was a sweet and kind 24 year old kid I will always remember him that way.

[quiksilverkid13]

I don't even know what to say. Obviously no details have been released yet, but it's hard to imagine he was the target of whatever happened. Like I said, I don't know, but at any rate, no one deserves this.

I just don't know.

[DenverFanInGB]

Wow. Just unbelievable. My bro just called me with the news knowing i'm a Broncos fan. I was just in shock. It's so sickening what this world has come to. People killing other people. But i guess we have to learn from this and celebrate the life of Darrent Williams. I guess it's hitting me now as i tear up when i'm writing this.

Rest in peace Darrent. We love you, and we'll miss you.

:salute:

[jcdavey]

i woke up to this terrible news and i can't even imagine how you all feel right now. i'm praying for you guys , darrent's family and his bronco family, you have my condolences, i'm at a loss for words, this has got to be the worst thing i have heard of since i heard rodney culver and his wife died in a plane crash.

[ThunderGirl]

My favorite moment was when I had the pleasure of meeting him after the Ravens game.

I will always think he was Denvers rising star and it is heartbreaking that his life ended at the hands of violence. My prayers are going out to his family and friends.

[str8jacket]

RIP D-Will

this just sickens me........

[poothainl]
